Music reviews of Selected Broadcasts & Jam Sessions

Music Review: Superb Muisc from All Parts
Rating: 5 Stars

Look, Charlie Christian needs no endorsement from me. A few particulars: Benny Goodman was an indifferent soloist but a fine assembler of talent. On these sides he stays out of the way and doesn't mess things up. Christian on the first set of sides is accompanied by Lionel Hampton, who almost matches him-- almost. (Listen to "Stardust," with Christian's quote from "Pretty Baby" before Charlie starts exploring VERY strange chords.) The sides with Basie are incomparable, and when Basie's small group sits in --Lester Young, Jo Jones included-- with Goodman, Christian, and Cootie Williams, a jazz fan can only dream of what could happened if these stars regularly recorded together. Christian is the focus, and it really is extraordinary to hear his rhythmic ideas, undoubtedly predecssors to be-bop, his flirtations with odd chords, yet deeply, deeply ensconced in the southwestern blues tradition. Minor grouchy notes: The all-star sides I could do without, as well as some of the alternate takes. But, come on, these are tiny when compared with the underlying simplicity of this great music. Listen to the sextet sides with Hampton, and the Basie sides, on the way to work. You'll have a spring in your step all day.

Description of Selected Broadcasts & Jam Sessions

Charlie Christian, The First Master Of The Electric Guitar - CD A by Charlie Christian

This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

When Benny Goodman hired Charlie Christian in 1939, he of course had no way of knowing that the innovative young electric guitarist would die three years later of TB. That explains why during his tenure with Goodman's band Christian recorded only a handful of studio recordings. Luckily, dozens of his radio appearances were recorded, many of which appear on this bargain-priced four-CD set. Most of the tracks feature Christian with the Benny Goodman Sextet, a group with shifting personnel that at various times included Lionel Hampton, Fletcher Henderson, and Gene Krupa. Christian's playing ranges from good to brilliant, and on almost every track you can hear him creating the vocabulary for the next few generations of jazz guitarists by coming up with new riffs, rhythms, and chord voicings. Also included are a few selections from the famous From Spirituals to Swing concert from 1939, and some rare Harlem jam sessions from 1941 that show Christian flirting with early bop ideas. The sound quality on the bulk of the tracks is surprisingly good, considering the source. So the question is, does anyone really need eight versions of "Flying Home?" The simple answer is yes, particularly when those versions are a well played and as historically important as these are. --Michael Simmons
