Reviewed on 11/19/99 by Jeremy Cotton (7647) Rating: Chech it out...few guitarusts have been as visionary and influential as Charlie Christian... buy this CD and find out why. He is agile, plays great lines (not quite bebop, but kind of tending towads it)...the clarinet is a little cheesy sometimes, but this is a high point in American Music.
