René Thomas - All Morning Long (Red Garland)

Nice live recording of Rene on this blues from 1961. Gives me confidence that you don't have to play chord harmony in a trio format. Single notes played like this are just fine.

René Thomas (g); Benoît Quersin (b); José Bourguignon (d)
Recorded June 30, 1961, Comblain-La-Tour, Belgium

Two great videos of guitarist René Thomas

With the The International Jazz Quintet on Belgian TV in 1962: Bobby Jaspar, tenor sax, flute; Amadeo Tommasi, piano; René Thomas, guitar; Benoît Quersin, double bass; Daniel Humair, drums. This is the band that toured and recorded with Chet Baker.

Great soloing from René - heavy strings, a thick pick and some wonderful sweep picking.
