I do not know much about Jazz but I like ....................Charlie Christian's Solo Flight (with Benny Goodman's Sextet)

My son Chris first told me about Charlie Christian - one of the earliest and most proficient exponents of the electric guitar.  You can certainly hear echoes of his playing in later players like Kenny Burrell, George Benson and Grant Green.

On this collection of tracks, recorded between 1939 and 1941 you get to hear some of the best of what he recorded with Goodman - who sought him out on the recommendation of John Hammond - when he passed through Oklahoma.  A improvisation style that would progress into the bop style of the 50s.

Check out Solo Flight and Waiting for Benny where you hear not only Charlie but Benny Goodman on Clarinet and Lionel Hampton on vibes.
