UUSI Charlie Christian T-Paita (XL)

Early jazz electric guitarist whose dazz-

ling single note style unshackled the in-

strument from the rhythm section, im-

measurably influential.

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 ele-

ctric guitarist, Christian played his instru-

ment with the fluidity, confidence, and

swing of a saxophonist. Although techni-

cally a swing stylist, his musical vocabu-

lary 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 local-

ly in Oklahoma, and began to utilize an

amplified guitar in 1937, after becoming

a student of Eddie Durham, a jazz guita-

rist who invented the amplified guitar.

John Hammond, the masterful talent

scout and producer, heard about Chris-

tian (possibly from Mary Lou Williams),

was impressed by what he saw, and ar-

ranged 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 primiti-

ve 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 Ken-

ny Clarke, and Dizzy Gillespie. All of the

guitarist's recordings (including guest

spots and radio broadcasts) are current-

ly available on CD. Tragically, he contrac-

ted tuberculosis in 1941, and died at the

age of 25 on March 2, 1942. It would be

25 years before jazz guitarists finally mo-

ved beyond Charlie Christian.
