Charlie Christian The Genius Of Electric Guitar

He was able to improvise on "Rose Room" for an hour and a half... and Benny Goodman hired him! Christian was the first to develop the long lines and ambitious harmonic progressions of bebop. There is a wonderful box set of 4 CDs from Columbia that "encompasses" the material contained in the reviewed CD, plus a lot more, totaling 98 tracks (70 of which are master takes). It’s worth it.

No Charlie Christian, no bebop.

Although I only know the artist in question by name, I agree with Muffin's point of view. Nowadays, there are so many people who need to amaze, provoke, and make headlines. Very few, on the other hand, are genuinely interested or capable of producing BEAUTY! In my view, the primary reason for an artist's existence should be this. There can be other aspects, there can be a message, but art cannot consist solely (or predominantly) of the message (assuming it is a real message and not a clever trick hanging dolls by their necks).

Hi Melissa! I understand what you're looking for, and I’ll send you a private message with some titles as soon as I can. By the way, sorry for the oversight; I promised you some recommendations on Ludovico Einaudi’s review :-(. I’ll make it up to you!

..."low bass lines at a slow pace"... mmmh! 2 for the excellent vocal talents of the little slut, obviously wasted on cheap rubbish. As for the oral talents, I believe they are best utilized by some fake mobster black guy, one of those who gestures arrogantly towards the cameras. Overall, you're improving, at least this one made me laugh (at times). I fear this might be unintentional, though. Keep it up! But also, maybe not ;-)

I knew about the existence of the album, and I read quite a lot about it. But I didn't know that Peter Erskine was on drums!!! Of course, Sting singing 'Round Midnight really feels like a load of crap, but you speak very highly of it...CAN I TRUST YOU???

Mine is busy too, what does it matter?? And didn't you say you were done with men? Yet here you are cheating on me with the first guy who comes along... if only I were a mess! ;-) Alright, goodbye, kisses and happiness.
