Is there a distinct melodic difference (single or chordal lines) between swing era styles of guitar (Charlie Christian, Django, Oscar Moore, etc) versus players who began thriving in the bebop era (Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, Wes to say, but forgot), that bebop was in fact the start of jazz becoming "an art form", more intellectual and sadly less popular and NOT made for dancing. The rhythm section consists of Fats Waller, piano (died at 39 in 1943); Charlie Christian, guitar (died at 25 in 1942); Jimmy Blanton, bass (died at 23 in 1942); and Chick Webb, drums (died at 34 in 1939) who was not available for this recording ( he never recorded this tune), so Big Sid Catlett sat in for him. A love for jazz is what got him into music, and he was always someone to recognize the link between jazz and blues (best found on guitar in the recordings of Charlie Christian). Before Wes Montgomery, there was Charlie Christian; and luckily Benny Goodman seen the talent in him and utilized the advantage throwing him into his Sextet. It might seriously be the only genuinely American art form thus far. After breaking in on Chicago radio, Paul moved to New York, where he played with Louis Armstrong, Art Tatum and Charlie Christian, the jazz guitarist who played a hollow-body instrument with a pickup. The two tenors are Herschel Evans The film also presents one piece of music each artist recorded that highlights his great talents. This man is what started Jazz guitar. However , in 1930 George Gershwin While working in Oklahoma as a young musician, Christian was able to jam with several big name musicians who came through town such as Teddy Wilson and Art Tatum. Throughout the first part of the 20th century, jazz was not considered a respectable form of music among mainstream white audiences due to the fact that it was synonymous with the music of brothels and black culture.
