Album Notes
THE GENIUS OF THE ELECTRIC GUITAR features recordings Charlie Christian made with the Benny Goodman Sextet and Orchestra, plus small studio groups recordings from 1939-1941.Personnel includes: Charlie Christian (electric guitar); Georgie Auld (tenor saxophone); Benny Goodman (clarinet); Cootie Williams (trumpet); Lionel Hampton (vibraphone); Fletcher Henderson, Count Basie, Johnny Guarnieri, Dudley Brooks (piano); Artie Bernstein (acoustic bass); Jo Jones, Nick Fatool, Harry Jaeger, Dave Tough (drums).Includes liner notes by Chris Albertson.Digitally remastered by Tim Geelan (CBS Studio, New York).Charlie Christian's complete recorded output was limited to a large handful of studio sides cut with the Benny Goodman Sextet, some air checks and studio outtakes, the 1938 Spirituals to Swing concert at Carnegie Hall and a few live tapes made at Minton's (Harlem's legendary after-hours cradle of bebop). As often happens in such cases, this small amount of material has been repackaged every which way, making it hard to know where to start. Start here. Columbia's Jazz Masterpieces recordings feature digital remastering, a generous number of cuts, full documentation of sidemen and recording dates and interesting liner notes (not to mention cool hand-colored photography). GENIUS OF THE ELECTRIC GUITAR features such essential repertoire as "Seven Come Eleven," "Breakfast Feud," "Air Mail Special," and Christian's one feature with the full Goodman big band, "Solo Flight" (known elsewhere as "Chonk, Charlie, Chonk"). Goodman always hired stellar personnel; during Charlie's all-too-short tenure (from 1939 to his death from tuberculosis at age 22 in 1941), the Sextet also included, for a few of these recordings, Count Basie on piano.

Editorial Reviews
...This well-appointed 4-CD set documents how Christian's attack, tone and phrasing laid the foundation for all who followed him...
