"Despite having such a short recording career, the original guitar hero
Charlie Christian
single-handedly revolutionized 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."
