I LOVE THIS SONG

Arakunrin Aiye Nreti

This is my peace lately 🎉

I'm reading "Swing to Bop" by Ira Gitler. A few quotes concerning Charlie Christian and Eddie Durham: Eddie Barefield (played with Bennie Motan) "I knew Charlie Christian in Oklahoma city, . . He used to come and take lessons from Eddie Durham"; Biddy Fleet ( who also studied with Eddie Durham & taught Charlie Parker guitar voicings)) "Eddie told me of a boy from Oklahoma City that was playing a guitar that was electrified"; Mary Lou Williams about Charlie Christian "We'd sit down in the basement(in New York at the Dewey Square Hotel) and play from eleven in the morning, please believe me, until twelve at night. Now nobody knows his ability, .. Charlie Christian would be playing "Rhapsody in Blue" and all these heavy classical things".

When the Guitar Got a Pickup and Amplifier! It was A Serious Game Changer! Suddenly the Guitar was Able to Compleat With a Big Band! And Jimi Hendrix Was Only a Few Decades Away! Total Domination!

best shit

Powerful dub.

tuffer than tuff

Love from nepal🖤

Great recording! Can hardly believe it is from the 1930's!

You have the feeling Django Reinhardt heard this and was inspired... pushing him further...

Man, listening to this music, it sounds so old, and yet it's still really enjoyable (coming from me who listens to synthesizers all the time). Funny how this would've been equally cutting edge/new at the time, especially with that amplifier thing eddie used

every everybody except Jimmie hit the bottle ! fait tintinabuler les bouteilles ! (après I am sorry , les bouteilles se couchent !)

I love this song <3 makes my depression desappear

Had this song on my wedding day, gives me goosebumps. Thank you!

Jimmie Lunceford

I listened to this song a lot through some very difficult and dark periods in my life. It gave me a lot of hope and inspiration. I still get to listen to it once in awhile. Reminiscencing!!!

Great. Thanks for sharing this.

Came here from looking for the sample to Pete Rock /INI life I live. Thank you for posting this. One love from Nairobi, Kenya.

1935

I just go by the recording dates...

the name of this song is "Memory Band". "Memory Lane" is the song Minnie Riperton made in 1978 from her album Minnie.

'you must think first'. Wicked old sample. Got that old skool chat thrown in to. It's a yes from me 😁

un des meilleurs Lunceford !

It is generally agreed that George Barnes was the first to record electric blues. What is equally important is how sophisticated and expressive they were. But Durham has a honored place in the history. of the electric guitar And it does matter who was first. How else would we know our real history if historians and scholars did not do the research, giving credit where credit is due, instead of "fake" history?

thx !

masters yabby you and king tubby!

un morceau de funambule ....et de noctambule !

still more views than julian lage

you might not believe it but this is my grandpa and Eric is my dad

Open Zion gates!!!!!

Está rolita tiene unas muy buenas percusiones, que hacen vibrar y rebotar mi corazón <3

Also came here because of Zen FM :-)

Ed used a resophonic guitar.

Song is from Born In The Sky - Lee Perry - Motion Records The Beltones do a version too. Uplifting tune.

This guitar does not sound amplified. But even if it were, it would not be the first recorded e-guitar solo. This was played around 1933 by Bob Dunn. Durham, Barnes and Christian came much later.

New Redseal album in production now! :)

THis song was composed by Harold Arlen / Ted Koehler

DUB !!! WISE !!! RASTAFARI !!!

Hot and nice. Good arrangement.

Jim Boyd was recording with an electric guitar (not electric steel guitar) in September 28 1935, two days before this record were made.

Never heard a song that made me this happy... its such a warm song!

Wow! Two years of responses. Some good information, but a lot of misinformation too. No one knows who played the first jazz guitar solo. New Orleans bands featured guitarists since the 1890s -- the switch to the banjo happened in the 1910s. Lucas' early solo recordings not jazz -- more ragtime. Lang probably the first to record a jazz solo. Durham first with an electric solo in 1938 -- Barnes was in the studio a few weeks earlier, but playing straight up urban blues (though certainly jazzy).
