Jazz guitar master Jimmy Ponder grooves and glides on this beautiful, previously unreleased live recording from the legendary Greenwich Village nightclub. A key element in the classic recordings of Lou Donaldson, Donald Byrd, Stanley Turrentine, Jimmy McGriff and many others, Ponder’s astounding technique and laid-back, funky sound come to the fore on this rare solo recording. With his super-tasty licks and unique arrangements of well-known tunes, Ponder’s ‘Live at The Other End’ is sure to delight the most discriminating guitar aficionado, – Editorial Reviews.

“Live at the Other End by Jimmy Ponder is not only engaging for its entire 55 minutes’ running time, it’s downright dazzling, and not only in technical acumen – which it certainly is – but in its pure singing musicality. … And is one of the finest solo jazz guitar records in the canon, period,” – Thom Jurek/AllMusic.
