New York - Los Angeles 1939-1941
"The Quintessence: New York to Los Angeles 1939-1941" (07/30/2002) Jazz Instrument Christian, Charlie, FremeauxThis French double-disc, 32-track anthology by Fremeaux & Associates is a decent, even solid collection of material of Charlie Christian's early recording years with the Benny Goodman band, in a number of studios all across the United States. Some of the track selections are curious, and considering the nine-volume retrospective on the Masters of Jazz imprint, this is but a mere drop in the bucket. Nonetheless, there are still plenty -- plenty -- of novices out there who are still discovering Christian some eight decades after he impacted music forever with his playing and had such a profound effect on jazz. So these sides, all of them showcasing him in the company of some prominent soloists, including Count Basie and Lester Young, offer plenty of proof that the genius was real. The notes are just OK, but the sound is terrific considering the source material. The only truly confounding thing here is the inclusion of four takes on disc two of "Benny's Bugle," all strung together as one long jam. ~ Thom Jurek

More Encores: Christian Marclay Plays With the Records Of... by Christian Marclay (CD - 05/18/2004)
"More Encores: Christian Marclay Plays With the Records Of..." (05/18/2004) Jazz Instrument Marclay, Christian, ReRAudio Mixer: Christian Marclay. Recording information: Harmonic Ranch (01/1987-05/1988); Horvitz Studio (01/1987-05/1988); King St. Studio (01/1987-05/1988); Noise NY (01/1987-05/1988). Christian Marclay may be the unwitting inventor of turntablism. This disc is a stellar example of why. The music here is by such unlikely compatriots as Johann Strauss, John Zorn, John Cage, Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, Ferrante and Teicher, Louis Armstrong, Martin Denny, Maria Callas, Jimi Hendrix, and Frederic Chopin. Basically, Marclay terrorizes the listener with his turntable manipulations of music by these artists. Each of the pieces here is dedicated to an artist whose records were used to create it. In the case of the Cage composition, Marclay cut slices from several records and pasted them back together on a single disc. On everything else the records were mixed together via several turntables simultaneously, then recorded and overdubbed in analogue. So what does it sound like? It's a mess, pure and simple. But in many cases, it's a compelling mess. The Cage piece is one example where the deep cracks in the records are audible as pieces of music from "Works for Prepared Piano," the string quartets and "Atlas Eclipticalis," among others, were used. The Chopin piece is like mad circus music, careening like an organ grinder's monkey got hold of the instrument. The Louis Armstrong track was recorded using a hand-crank gramophone and therefore its non-sampled charm is everywhere present. Also, the Gainsbourg/Birkin track in some ways tracks better than their own songs. Ultimately, though, all the speed changes become irritating throughout. Given that this was the ultimate use of a turntable back in 1988, and was a different take on sampling, it's an interesting disc. [Originally issued as a 10" vinyl record, More Encores was reissued on CD by Chris Cutler's Recommended label in 1996.] ~ Thom Jurek

50 Golden Hymns
"50 Golden Hymns Instrumental Collection" (11/07/2005) Gospel Various Artists, New DayThis three-disc set includes instrumental versions of well-known hymns like "Amazing Grace," "The Lord's My Shepherd," "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," and "How Great Thou Art." The arrangements range from sweeping, full-orchestra renditions to solo piano -- a gentle piano version of "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" is a highlight. There are few rather stilted contemporary instrumentals -- the badly programmed percussion in "Beneath the Cross of Jesus" is a distraction. But for the most part, 50 Golden Hymns is workable as background music. ~ Johnny Loftus

Rewind That [2/26]
"Rewind That" (03/28/2006) Jazz General Scott, Christian (Jazz), ConcordPersonnel: Christian Scott (trumpet); Christian Scott ; Donald Harrison (alto saxophone); Walter Smith III (tenor saxophone); Zaccai Curtis (Fender Rhodes piano, Wurlitzer organ); Zaccai Curtis (Fender Rhodes piano); Luques Curtis (acoustic bass); Matt Stevens (guitar); Thomas Pridgen (drums). Audio Mixer: Ron Davis. Recording information: Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, CA (02/09/2005-02/11/2005). The young New Orleans trumpeter Christian Scott combines jazz and hip-hop to smoothly sophisticated effect on this sophomore, Grammy-nominated 2006 set. His accomplished solos are underpinned by a supple, sympathetic band that conveys late-1960s Miles Davis in its determinedly after-hours feel. The smooth jazz tendencies hinted at on "So What" are undercut by the spare colorations of the title track and the tense undertones of "Suicide," while on "Paradise Found," Scott and ensemble show that they're also capable of a finely understated lyricism.

"The Original Guitar Hero" (09/24/2002) Jazz Instrument Christian, Charlie, Legacy RecordingsThis is a selection from the 4-CD box THE GENIUS OF THE ELECTRIC GUITAR. Personnel: Charlie Christian (guitar); George Auld (tenor saxophone); Cootie Williams (trumpet); Benny Goodman (clarinet); Lionel Hampton (vibraphone); Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Johnny Guarnieri, Dudley Brooks (piano); Artie Bernstein (bass); Nick Fatool, Jo Jones, Harry Jaeger (drums). Producer: John Hammond. Compilation producers: Michael Brooks, Michael Cuscuna. Recorded in 1939-1940. Includes liner notes by Les Paul and Brad Tolinski. All tracks have been digitally remastered.

King; Vernon Reid; Barney Kessel; Walter Becker; Warren Haynes; Bill Frisell; John Scofield; Brian Setzer. Recording information: Word Studios, NY (10/02/1939-11/07/1940). This eight-track sampler from Columbia's The Genius of the Electric Guitar box set is a fairly ill-advised promotional gimmick that offers a slice of the box to people who may be unsure of its overall worth. It is far from a definitive sampler, though, and as such is a waste of money, because those who are convinced to buy the box will have paid an extra ten bucks, while those who decide that the sampler stands on its own will be deprived of many of Christian's essential performances. If you're a big Christian fan, buy the box; otherwise, the original (and still-available) Genius of the Electric Guitar is still the best way to go. ~ Jim Smith This eight-track sampler from Columbia's The Genius of the Electric Guitar box set offers a slice of the box to people who may be unsure of its overall worth.

After Hours by Charlie Christian (CD - 05/09/2000)
"After Hours" (05/09/2000) Jazz Instrument Christian, Charlie, Original Jazz Classics/Dizzy Gillespie. Personnel includes: Charlie Christian (guitar); Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet); Rudy Williams (alto saxophone); Don Byas, Kermit Scott (tenor saxophone); Joe Guy, Hot Lips Page, Victor Coulson (trumpet); Thelonious Monk, Al Tinney, Ken Kersey (piano); Nick Fenton, Ed Paul (bass); Kenny Clarke, Tom Miller (drums). Recorded live at Minton's Playhouse and Clark Monroe's Uptown House, New York, New York in May 1941. Originally released on Esoteric (548). Includes liner notes by Leonard Feather. Digitally remastered by Kirk Felton (2000, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Personnel: Charlie Christian (guitar); Rudy Williams (alto saxophone); Don Byas, Kermit Scott (tenor saxophone); Dizzy Gillespie, Hot Lips Page, Joe Guy (trumpet); Al Tinney, Thelonious Monk (piano); Kenny Clarke, Tom Miller (drums). Audio Remasterer: Kirk Felton. Liner Note Author: Leonard Feather. Recording information: Clark Monroe's Uptown House, New York, NY (05/06/1941-05/12/1947); Minton's Playhouse, New York, NY (05/06/1941-05/12/1947). AFTER HOURS is an excellent live document of the early roots of bebop, capturing this exciting music in the process of being built by its pioneering architects. Recorded live in New York City at jam sessions at Minton's Playhouse and Monroe's Uptown House in 1941, these tapes feature young modernists Charlie Christian, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Kenny Clarke, and Don Byas as they pushed the structural materials of swing toward something new and intense. Beyond the historical significance of these sessions, however, the music is simply fabulous. There are revisions of "Stardust" and "Stompin' at the Savoy, " but the tunes are mainly blues-based improvisations, with plenty of syncopated play and stretched-out soloing from all involved. Christian's guitar takes center stage--his fluid, fleet-fingered style and mellow amplified tone have become such a stock part of jazz guitar, it is hard to remember that he almost single-handedly wrote the book. Though Gillespie gets double-billing on this set, he only appears on four of the nine tunes, but one can hear early hints of the advanced technical style that would explode in his work with Charlie Parker in the later '40s. This music is truly classic.

The Immortal Charlie Christian [Columbia] by Charlie Christian (CD - 09/30/1992)
"The Immortal Charlie Christian [Columbia]" (09/30/1992) Jazz Instrument Christian, Charlie, Legacy RecordingsPersonnel: Charlie Christian (guitar); Don Byas (tenor saxophone); Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Guy (trumpet); Thelonious Monk, Kenny Kersey (piano); Nixk Finton (bass); Kenny Clarke (drums). Recorded live at Minton's, New York, New York in May 1941. Personnel: Charlie Christian (guitar); Don Byas (tenor saxophone); Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Guy (trumpet); Ken Kersey, Thelonious Monk (piano); Kenny Clarke (drums). Liner Note Author: Leonard Feather. Recording information: Minton's in Harlem (05/1941). Aside from the name being misspelled on front and back cover, guitarist Charlie (not Charley) Christian was at the forefront of the bebop revolution. These ten tracks show why, and also gives rise to the notion of Christian being the first to wield an amplified electric guitar. The CD has a nice range of bop classics, three written by co-conspirator Dizzy Gillespie, two originals of Christian's, a lone standard, and a tribute to Jack Kerouac. This collection represents not only a smidgen of what Christian did before his career was tragically cut short, but opens a window into his grand contributions to jazz. Though only an appetizer and a bit flawed, it is tasty. ~ Michael G. Nastos

djTrio [Digipak] by Christian Marclay (CD - 04/13/2004)
"djTrio [Digipak]" (04/13/2004) Jazz Instrument Marclay, Christian, AsphodelLiner Note Author: Christian Marclay. Recording information: Arts At Brad College; Electroluxe Festival, Tonic; Pompidou Center; Sculpture Garden's Ring Auditorium; The Andy Warhol Museum; The Detroit Institute Of Arts; The Hirshhorn Museum; The Richard B. Fisher Center For The Performing; Tonic's Subtonic PhOnOmena. Editors: Christian Marclay; DJ Olive. As close as Christian Marclay has ever come to conventional DJ mixing -- which is to say, not very close at all -- djTrio collects seven live performances by Marclay's ever-shifting collective of turntable masters, including Toshio Kajiwara, Erik M, DJ Olive, and Marina Rosenfeld. This is not traditional turntablism in that the beat is never the point. Similarly, the traditional structure of soundclash-style records, where each DJ takes turns soloing while the others provide a steady beat backdrop, is out the window: this is more like three DJs soloing on top of each other. However, it's not as chaotic and difficult to absorb as many of Marclay's solo performances, because although Marclay's extreme noise-for-noise-sake aesthetic prevails, his cohorts are at least partially rooted in traditional turntablism, which provides just enough familiarity for the listener to throw Marclay's sound art into sharp relief. Relatively becalmed pieces like "New York, August 21, 2003" aren't really that far removed from the likes of DJ Shadow, making djTrio a less threatening introduction to Christian Marclay's musical world than many of his solo recordings. ~ Stewart Mason
