Members yelserpdog Posted October 28, 2004 Members Posted October 28, 2004 Can anyone recommend some good Charlie Christian CDs?
Members Terje Posted October 29, 2004 Members Posted October 29, 2004 Yes! Before anyone else fools you into buying something else with CC I'd like you to get the live stuff from Minton's Playhouse. The sound quality isn't that super but the music is. Well, the backing bands aren't always that great but CC gets to stretch out. It was at Minton's that bebop was invented, during late night jam sessions. These recordings are from those sessions.

Members Terje Posted October 29, 2004 Members Posted October 29, 2004 Originally posted by lazaraga which recordings? All of them. It's still pretty much swing guitar but you can hear the change coming. CC, and some of the other players, are striving for something new. Sometimes the rhythm section is giving them a hard time though...

Members adamsj Posted November 4, 2004 Members Posted November 4, 2004 Charlie Christian lesson DVD:http://www.apthosting.com/Lessons/Details.php?item=320367 Great licks, easy to follow. At least some of his playing was in a fairly straight blues-jazz style, as demonstrated in the DVD, though I haven't had time to get that far into it.
