The most in-demand guitarist of 1925-33,
This review is from: Jazz Guitar Virtuoso (Audio CD)
Eddie Lang did not lead many sessions during his short life and the great majority are on this Yazoo collection. The most in-demand guitarist of 1925-33, Lang's rare opportunities to head his own dates put the focus on his single-note lines and gave him a chance to be in the spotlight rather than making other players sound good. This album has two unaccompanied solos (including Rachmaninoff's "Prelude"), duets with pianists Frank Signorelli, Arthur Schutt and Rube Bloom and three of his famous collaborations with fellow guitarist Lonnie Johnson. However the most memorable tracks are Lang's two exciting duets with guitarist Carl Kress: "Pickin' My Way" and an alternate take of "Feeling My Way." This is highly recommended music from the best jazz guitarist prior to the rise of Django Reinhardt

This review is from: Jazz Guitar Virtuoso (Audio CD)
Simply indispensable.If you like Charlie Christina or Barney Kessel see where i came from.Eddie Land and George Van Epps were early 30's masters.Also the other indispensable is the Eddie Lang and Lonni Johnson I&II LP's.Only comparable to beauty of Freddie Green/Edie Durham rhythm and lead respectively on Keynote Kansas City 5 recordings with Basie.
