Performer: Charlie Byrd
Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp. Notes: Personnel: Charlie Byrd (guitar); Woody Herman Band. Don't come to this 1959 reissue expecting soft and soothing bossa nova sounds: jazz guitar virtuoso Charlie Byrd's collaboration with Woody Herman is full of compressed energy. Herman's big band punctuates Byrd's inventive solos with typically punchy horn and percussion arrangements in vintage style through a succession of hot sambas, only pausing for breath for the occasional ballad. The "Summer Sequence" pieces demonstrate both Byrd's dazzling technique and the band's sumptuous sound, particularly in the breathtaking final segment.
Charlie Byrd was a distinctive guitarist who brought a refined, classical approach to jazz guitar. His appearance on the Stan Getz album JAZZ SAMBA in the early 1960s helped usher in the bossa nova craze of that era, and his later recordings, particularly with the Great Guitars trio, demonstrate his highly developed technique and musical sense.
