Hi guys In my search for Down Beat reviews by my old friend Kenny Dorham I came across a Leonard Feather blindfold test with Thelonious Monk (and his wife...
I've got two EH-150's and I have a couple questions. The first one is a 1936, square 10" model. I am trying to find a back cover for it - anyone know where I...
I think that it would be interesting for someone to describe the variations that have occurred over the years in the CC pickups made by Gibson. I know that...
I recall speaking with a Custom shop rep at a show in NY who said that the
reissued 150s were using NOS PUs probably from the 70s that one employee had
He...
Seymour Duncan has a Q&A on his website: What is the history of the Charlie Christian pickup? The ES-150, EH-150 and other custom pickups? I have general...
The CC pickup discussion made me think of some related issues that are often involved in restorations generally. You can aim for different objectives, and...
Looks like Lollar has registered Charlie Christian as a trademark in association with his repro pickups (which use modern Alnic magnets). I also found a UK...

This is the lick I had questioned earlier - finding things CC "lifted" from Basie records, the closest I can come to this is Pres' last 4 measures on "Roseland...
One can easily imagine CC's record collection including as much Pres as he could get his hands on. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I just picked up the French label complete Django Reinhardt discs, which present everything the man recorded in chronological order. I also read an excellent...
Django had no influence on Charles' playing. CC did however influence Django. You can hear many of CC's phrases in Django's solos around 1950 after he...
What Django Reinhardt played in 1935 was not the same as what he played in 1953. Also, he wasn't working in a vacuum. He was part of a music scene that drew...
Hi folks Django was before CC in any way. He was born before and started his recording career long before CC. And CC knew reportedly a Django solo, St. Louis...
Ole, Now, now! Play the game! Please read the original postings #2081 onward and you'll see that you weren't put down....you conceded - #2087 wasn't it? Please...
Peter Are we ever going to discuss in detail the actual runs etc of the DR solo and compare them to CC's licks. It doesn't seem very likely - there seem to be...
Dear peter Now you must excuse me. I didn't see your PPS and PPPS before writing the previous message. If you honestly want to see the CC phrases in the DR...
Django's biographer says he heard the latest Goodman swing records while back in France during the early 1940s, and was influenced by them in his choice of...

... As astonishing as it may seem to those of you who know our history, I agree completely with Peter on this. But why doesn't someone post some clips or...
I previously cited a couple of early 40s tunes where I heard an influence. I don't have access to transcriptions, but the songs were Swing 42, recorded in...

I thought Garry's note was quite civil. I didn't interpret anything offensive about it. I thought the discussion had been going quite well and I'd be sorry...
