Episode 5

Jazz Guitar Greats Vol. 1 Welcome to ACE Jazz Library - Podcast no.5 This podcast features a selection of jazz guitar greats extending from the 1930's to the 1970's, touching on gypsy jazz, swing, bossa nova, blues, soul, cool and bop styles. The sequence is roughly in chronological order, giving a flavour of how jazz guitar styles developed, but beginning at the beginning to introduce the foundation influences and give you the heads up on where it's coming from we start with Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian, who basically created the space for others to fill. As ever on ACE Jazz Library we feature examples from outstanding album performances, which are well worth the purchase. To listen click on the title above.
