This recording got me thru high school thinking about the licks while in double classes for science English and math to graduate graduate graduate because I cut school 10th and 11th grade thank u thanku😂
This is incredible. How lucky we are that this improvisation was recorded. It's magical, especially beginning around 8:00, and I'm learning about Charlie Christian for the first time. Gone at 25, this guitarist was divinely talented and thanks to UA-cam and other avenues, he's not forgotten. Hopefully, recordings like this will continue to inspire musicians forever.
There is a set of jazz guitar history CD's called "Hittin' on all Six". It is organized as pre Charlie Christian, Charlie Christian, and post Charlie Christian. Enormously influential in his too short life.
You may be right here. Georgie was self-taught. Charlie's mother and father were both musicians. You might talk to Ken Burns, he thinks jass is all about DNA, like Charlie didn't need the schoolin'
If you like this you'll go over the edge when you listen to ' Swing to Bop', Minton's Playhouse, New York. This is Christian's finest solo. It is a private recording by Jerry Newman on the 12th of May, 1941 and is on vinyl LP, FS-219, hard to find..however, it is on You Tube.
Yes he is - He played the tenor solos for Robert de Niro in the movie "New York, New York". Also de Niro's character was loosely based on Georgie Auld.
Le chef en question...qui n'a jamais été aussi bon que quand il ne jouait pas...et qu'il laissait jouer les géants qu'il a eu (et c'est sans doute son seul génie) le mérite d'engager à cette époque : Christian, Hampton, Wilson, Krupa et parfois Lester, Fletcher et même Count Basie....
It's amazing to me that nothing has surfaced. Film had been around a couple decades at that point. Still not common, but definitely around. He was famous enough and in famous groups, I'd expect somebody would have wanted to document him/them
in 1941, this musicians were some of the best ever. Christian was a giant, Cootie was on top there, Dave Tough was one of the most swingin' drummers ever, Georgie Auld was one of the best white saxophone stars, much better then Tex Beneke from the Miller Band, Johnny Guarnieri could play from Basie to Fats Waller in one solo, a very fine piano player.

The stuff Christian is playing at the start is incredible and way ahead of it's time on the guitar. Amazing recording!
Priceless recording, fortuitously captured for posterity. One can never get enough of Christian.

The sound quality gets MUCH better around 2:05!
I love the way Charles corrects Auld on "I Hadn't Anyone Till You."

Georgie Auld is an underrated man
Very much so.
💯

j'adore le solo de Cootie Williams, très inspiré, et super swinguant......magnifique exemple de ce que l'on peut faire en attendant le chef !

I only wish some film footage of CC will appear someday soon...

Obviously all musical giants and legends. But as a team, they just don't jell.
