Our Take

In the pantheon of jazz guitarists, there are icons, legends, and then there’s Charlie Christian. The man who revolutionized the way the guitar was played in jazz, Christian’s influence can still be heard echoing through the halls of music history. The Charlie Christian Collection 1939-1951 is a delightful time capsule, showcasing the evolution of Christian’s playing from his early days with the Benny Goodman Sextet to his later solo recordings.

Listening to this album is like taking a musical journey through Christian’s career, witnessing the growth of his style and technique. Tracks like “Solo Flight” and “Seven Come Eleven” showcase Christian’s virtuosity and innovation, while slower tunes like “Good Enough to Keep” highlight his soulful side.

The production on this collection is top-notch, giving each track a crisp, clean sound that allows Christian’s playing to shine through. The remastering work truly does justice to Christian’s guitar work, making each note sound like it was played yesterday.

If you’re a fan of jazz guitar or just appreciate good music in general, The Charlie Christian Collection 1939-1951 is a must-listen. It’s a testament to a true pioneer of the instrument, and a reminder of why Charlie Christian will always be remembered as one of the greats. Grab your beret, pour yourself a martini, and prepare to be transported back in time by the magic of Charlie Christian.
