Charlie Christian

The Life And Music Of The Legendary Jazz Guitarist-In guitar history no single figure stands as tall as jazzman Charlie Christian. He helped not only introduce the electric guitar to the world but also popularized single string solos moving the instrument from background rhythm to the forefront of popular music. And like so many important jazz players he made enormous contributions in the span of an all-too-short life. Born in 1916 in Texas Christian moved to Oklahoma City at an early age where he became immersed in the jazz culture of the Sooner State. Influenced by family jazz musicians in and out of Oklahoma and area western swing players Christian emerged with his own unique style of playing. By 1939 hejoined the Benny Goodman Sextet. During the next few years he received national acclaim. At clubs like Minton’s in New York he even helped craft the early stages of Bebop. And yet by 1942 he succumbed to tuberculosis and passed into history. This DVD covers all aspects of Charlie’s life and music featuring interviews with family friends fellow Oklahoma jazz musicians and music luminaries like Claude ‘Fiddler’ Williams Jerry Jerome and Les Paul.
