#CharlieChristian
25 jaar
29 juli 1916-2 maart 1942
Amerikaans #jazz gitarist, die vooral speelt met #BennyGoodman, binnen de #swing en #bebop genres.
EΓ©n van de belangrijkste pioniers in het gebruik van de electrische gitaar, en heel belangrijk binnen de #muziek om het instrument solo te gebruiken.
Hij was een sleutelfiguur, in de verspreiding van bebop en #cooljazz, die de verbinding vormt tussen #hotjazz en moderne jazz.
Op 25 jarige leeftijd overlijdt hij

Apparently, the name "bebop" comes from Charlie Christian's habit of humming along as he played (which you'll also hear Oscar Peterson doing).
Charlie Christian, "Swing to Bop" (1941)
This is an amateur audience recording from Minton's Playhouse, so the recording is rather primitive, while the recorded music most definitely is not.

My bandmate #DannyGotham picked this one out to do as part of our pandemic remote videos series.
When Danny was a young man he finished as runner up in the #NationalFingerpicking#Championship in #Winfield, but heβs hell on wheels with a flatpick, too.
Heβs doing the main lines in the first tune while I play #LapSteel. Iβm playing #guitar for the brief #CharlieChristian break and then most on #Swing 42.
