Description:

- Charlie Christian ist wahrscheinlich der wichtigste und einflussreichste E-Gitarrist der Musikgeschichte und war von grundlegender Bedeutung fÃ¼r die Entwicklung des Be-Bop - Sein tragisch kurzes Leben bedeutete, dass er nur 2 Jahre lang Aufnahmen machte. Innerhalb dieser Zeit wurde er zu einem verehrten JazzkÃ¼nstler, der bei einer Vielzahl von jÃ¤hrlichen Preisverleihungen abrÃ¤umte - Diese Sammlung enthÃ¤lt 18 seiner besten Aufnahmen mit den groÃ?artigen Benny Goodman Small Bands. - Gepresst auf 140g Vinyl in GroÃ?britannien. - BEST OF 1939-41

Despite having such a short recording career, the original guitar hero Charlie Christian single-handedly revolutionised the electric guitar. With having no direct influence on his guitar playing, he used the horn and reed lines he heard from the likes of Lester Young as inspiration to develop his unique single line phrasing - and so was born the guitar solo. Christian tragically died at 25 of tuberculosis, just as he was jamming with cool cats Thelonious Monk and Charlie Parker on the East coast, developing the future sound of be-bop. Our collection features some of the best material he recorded with the legendary Benny Goodman small bands. Playing alongside such luminaries of the jazz world as Goodman himself, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Papa Jo Jones, Lester Young and Lionel Hampton, Christian shone above them all with his utterly unique and pioneering playing.
