Jazz
Charlie Christian - guitar
2 CD with book
American swing and bebop jazz guitarist Charlie Christian was an important early performer on the electric guitar, and is a key figure in the development of bebop. In 1939, he auditioned for record producer John Hammond, who recommended Christian to bandleader Benny Goodman, who hired Christian to play with the newly formed Goodman Sextet in 1939. His contributions at late night after-hours jam sessions at Minton's Playhouse in Harlem were landmarks in the evolution from the then-popular, radio-friendly, accessible swing music to the more experimental bebop. His early death in 1942 from tuberculosis deprived the jazz world of one of its most innovative and influential artists, whose brief career changed the direction of jazz and popular American music.
Charlie Christian
Active Decades: '30s and '40s
Born: Jul 29, 1916 in Dallas, TX
Died: Mar 02, 1942 in New York, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Big Band, Bop, Swing
It can be said without exaggeration that virtually every jazz guitarist that emerged during 1940-65 sounded like a relative of Charlie Christian. The first important electric guitarist, Christian played his instrument with the fluidity, confidence, and swing of a saxophonist. Although technically a swing stylist, his musical vocabulary was studied and emulated by the bop players, and when one listens to players ranging from Tiny Grimes, Barney Kessel, and Herb Ellis, to Wes Montgomery and George Benson, the dominant influence of Christian is obvious.
Charlie Christian's time in the spotlight was terribly brief. He played piano locally in Oklahoma, and began to utilize an amplified guitar in 1937, after becoming a student of Eddie Durham, a jazz guitarist who invented the amplified guitar. John Hammond, the masterful talent scout and producer, heard about Christian (possibly from Mary Lou Williams), was impressed by what he saw, and arranged for the guitarist to travel to Los Angeles in August 1939 and try out with Benny Goodman. Although the clarinetist was initially put off by Christian's primitive wardrobe, as soon as they started jamming on "Rose Room," Christian's talents were obvious. For the next two years, he would be well-featured with Benny Goodman's Sextet; there were two solos (including the showcase "Solo Flight") with the full orchestra; and the guitarist had the opportunity to jam at Minton's Playhouse with such up-and-coming players as Thelonious Monk, Kenny Clarke, and Dizzy Gillespie. All of the guitarist's recordings (including guest spots and radio broadcasts) are currently available on CD. Tragically, he contracted tuberculosis in 1941, and died at the age of 25 on March 2, 1942. It would be 25 years before jazz guitarists finally moved beyond Charlie Christian.
