Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Les Paul turned 90 this June, and to celebrate this great event, Varese Sarabande is pleased to release a wonderful collection of early recordings by one of the most important names associated with the electric guitar!

Les Paul and Mary Ford was one of the hottest selling duos in the early to mid 50s, charting over 40 hits during that period.

This collection showcases his abilities as a jazz guitarist, with a focus on the more sultry romantic side of Les Paul and His Trio, performing standards written by such notables as Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, and George and Ira Gershwin, among others.

Three tracks also feature the great vocalist, Kay Starr, who herself had over two-dozen hits in the 1950s.

All selections were recorded in 1944-45, when Les was at the peak of his considerable guitar prowess. These excellent studio recordings made for transcription companies, were sent to radio stations throughout North America for airplay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Les Paul Trio- this is the one!, January 11, 2006
By Allen Strange (Bainbridge Island, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you have only one Les Paul Trio CD in your collection, this is the one to have. These tracks foreshadow all the licks, tricks, harmonic signatures and ideas Les used to develop his "new sound" several years later. Those familiar with his work in the late forties through the early sixties will immediately recognized the genesis of his multi-track "sound." The playing is outstanding and there are a couple of gems with the likes of Joe Venuti and Kay Starr.

5.0 out of 5 stars I discovered Les Paul was a great jazz guitarist, February 20, 2009
I bought this album along with a couple of other early Les Paul albums mainly out of curiosity. I enjoyed Les Paul's recordings with Mary Ford, and I was curious to hear what he did in the 1940s. I was astonished to discover that he was a jazz virtuoso several years before his popular recordings in the 1950s. His instrumental playing and the playing by the other members of his trio are just wonderful. I play both guitar and piano, and both the guitar and piano here are wonderful, enjoyable, and very interesting musically. If you enjoy jazz guitar, I think you will enjoy this album and the other recordings less Paul did in the 1940s, including his playing behind Bing Crosby.
