He wasn’t even the first one to play jazz on the new instrument. But he certainly developed a way to do it that became default. He really invented the language for the electric guitar. Born in 1916 not far for Dallas, Texas, he was only 23 when made his first record, Benny Goodman’s “Flying Home”, but, desoite his young age his original style was absolutely mature and definitive. In a matter of hours Charlie changed forever the image of his instrument and influenced practically all present and future guitar players. Less than three years later, not yet 26, he died of tubercolosis in New York, leaving behind an enormous empty space to be filled by a galore of guitar players all over the World who kept learning the lesson that some 30 sides of Benny Goodman records plus a very small bunch of other discs offered to them. Nearly all of them are included in this two-volumes collection. To be a little more complete, we added few tunes that the Goodman sextets never made in the studio but that survived thanks to recorded radio broadcasts Thank you so much for watching this video by Halidon Music channel, we hope you enjoyed it!
