    It  can  be  said  without  exaggeration  that  virtually  every  jazz
    guitarist  that  emerged during  1940-65  sounded like  a  relative of
    Charlie Christian. The  first important electric  guitarist, Christian
    played his instrument  with the fluidity,  confidence, and swing  of a
    saxophonist.  Although  technically  a  swing  stylist,  his   musical
    vocabulary was studied and emulated  by the bop players, and  when one
    listens to players ranging from  Tiny Grimes, Barney Kessel, and  Herb
    Ellis, to Wes Montgomery and George Benson, the dominant influence  of
    Christian is obvious.

    Charlie  Christian's  time in  the  spotlight was  terribly  brief. He
    played piano locally  in Oklahoma, and  began to utilize  an amplified
    guitar  in 1937,  after becoming  a student  of Eddie  Durham, a  jazz
    guitarist  who  invented  the  amplified  guitar.  John  Hammond,  the
    masterful talent scout and  producer, heard about Christian  (possibly
    from Mary Lou  Williams), was impressed  by what he  saw, and arranged
    for the guitarist to travel to Los Angeles in August 1939 and try  out
    with Benny Goodman. Although the clarinetist was initially put off  by
    Christian's primitive  wardrobe, as  soon as  they started  jamming on
    "Rose Room," Christian's talents were obvious. For the next two years,
    he would be well-featured with Benny Goodman's Sextet; there were  two
    solos (including the showcase "Solo Flight") with the full  orchestra;
    and the  guitarist had  the opportunity  to jam  at Minton's Playhouse
    with such up-and-coming players as Thelonious Monk, Kenny Clarke,  and
    Dizzy Gillespie.  All of  the guitarist's  recordings (including guest
    spots and radio broadcasts) are currently available on CD. Tragically,
    he contracted tuberculosis in 1941, and died at the age of 25 on March
    2, 1942.  It would  be 25  years before  jazz guitarists finally moved
    beyond Charlie Christian.
