(I'm not sure if that's the actual title of this LP)
This record has some bootleg recordings of Charlie Christian jamming out with the Benny Goodman band. This is really a jam band recording. Charlie is riffing and the group segues into "a smoooth one." Audio fidelity is not the best on this record, but it is a great document of a legendary jazz guitarist who died way too young. This is pre-bop loose jamming. It's all with the Benny Goodman sextet. I like the smaller ensemble as opposed to his big band. This is a good record and it is important for everyone to hear it to better understand the continuity of the evolution of jazz styles.
