The Absolute Best of Byrd.......2003-08-24

I first found this album, on vinyl, in a used record store in Manhattan in 1966. It was so impressive, it has been my favorite Jazz Guitar album ever since. The "Fanatasia on Which Side Are You On" is a journey you'll never forget. It is a masterpiece.

Charlie hot and unamplified before Bossa Nova.......2000-05-10

One of my favorite Charlie Byrd albums. The setting is intimate, the playing is very good, the guitar is umamplified--or nearly so.

These two sets reveal that Charlie Byrd was a skillful and mature guitarist two years before his association with Stan Getz. The arrangement of "Why Was I Born," is a very nice guitar arrangement (key of A) and shows that Charlie knew how slowly a ballad can be played--many musicians would have been unable to keep the tempo down and still be creative.

Some nice improvising and Charlie's trademark crazy classical tricks on Ellington's Just Squeeze Me.

A pleasantly warm trio in a real setting. Buy it and transport yourself to a small club in the Village in the early, early sixties, before life was complex!
