I think Charlie Christian was really the best thing that ever happened to the Benny Goodman band. Artie Shaw thought Benny to be a superb clarinetist, but...
Hmmm interesting point. As a guitarist and clarinetist, I disagree. I do not discount the contribution made by Charlie Christian. There were many other very...
(FYI. Got this from another list, not sure of the source.) Barney Kessel, who died on Thursday aged 80, was one of the finest exponents of the electric guitar...
Nice tribute. No matter how long one lingers, it's still a jolt to the system when one finally passes. Only had a few minutes to visit Barney between sets one...
Back in the early 1950's as a young teenager I attended a Jazz at the Philharmonic show with my parents. Seeing and hearing Barney Kessel started me off with...
Yesterday, with deep sadness I heard the news of the passing of my good friend, Barney Kessell. I first met Barney when he was living in London more than...
I had the great fortune of meeting and hearing Barney solo here, in San Diego,in a small club in the late 1980's. The music was mesmerizing but I also...
Yeah I know it's ghost written, but there was a certain quote in the 39 downbeat article (reprinted 66, Guitar world 82, Guitarone 02) that I've been looking...

Just to confirm two more errors in the rough draft via very recent research undertaken in Bonham. 1 I already knew that Charlie's grandmother could not have...

Mr. B, Is The Charlie Christian Jazz Guitar website open to the public or ? Another rain day in Vermont TC ... From: "bopgtrist2" <bopgtrist2@...> To:...
In this day and age it's not obvious why any web site would remain private and not public. The best way to disseminate correct information is to make it...
David, I have had a quick look at some of your posts which seem to be all about pickups, strats and teles. However, you attack me about Scholarship? Read what...
None of which has anything to do with what I wrote in my last post. Maybe if I were one of the chosen few who can access your web site, I'd be able to get my...

I haven't "attacked your scholarship," as you say. All I'm asking is that you share it with people such as myself. The question of whether CC played bebop is...
You are frantically shovelling smoke and trying to change the issue! Clearly you made a mistake in regard to CC and the word bebop, simply because you hadn't...

Thanks for all of this - doesn't hide the fact that you were wrong about CC and the word bebop - which is where you started. Still shovelling smoke as fast as...
I haven't read that book or yours but I would like to do so. I've been interested in CC since I first heard the Sextet recordings around 1972, and I try to...
