amazing video. thank you so much!

Wow !!!! Miles was wild with the "you'll learn how on stage while on tour"

Does anyone know if this is ai scripted ?

Found Clifford's music right before my last year of high school. Nobody like him since.

Can't you get a real human to read your copy? Jeez, 4:30 "Pat METH-AH- nee" group, come on. At least do a "proof listen" :-) Or is this entire channel an AI bot?

It's a WIG.

Thanks for profiling Lonnie. He is one of my favorite pianists. I wish he'd had devouted more of his playing to the acoustic piano.

Miles was really a star maker in jazz. One guy that had a short association with Miles was the great Avant_garde saxophone player Sam Rivers. I would love to see something on Sam . Another great video.

Wasn’t he also a baseball player? Like won a World Series

He had very creative music

Cool. Thanks For Sharing.

A great bass player with an incredible resume! Thanks

the single "DAAA butt," lol. that was the first thing i ever heard from MM. i got in trouble for singing along to that in the car with my parents as a kid, b/c i was just a little too young to understand what was being said, but i liked the tune.

Cool. Thanks for Sharing

Just had posted on the Tracking Angle site a critical review of Monk's records. He is my favorite jazz musician.

I played with his brother Mike, a flugelhorn player. A very talented family.

“ short fuse “ & “ foul mouth “ 🤣. Buddy’s almost a new Rock musician .

" One of my fav albums is of Dinah Washington singing live in 1954 and loved the solos that Clifford played so 2 yrs ago i bought a box set of 13 CD albums that Clifford recorded and play them constantly, Also on that Jazz sides of Dinah live album Richie Powell plays piano, Richie also was in the car crash with Clifford killing them both who were in their early twenties, so sad.

A shout-out to ‘80-‘81, especially “The Bat”!

Lenny Breau and Ted Greene - two greatest guitar geniuses I ever heard..

I (and others) maintain that single line "lead guitar" playing originated because of the limits of Dajango's injured left hand.

Great stuff - I've been a PM fan since 1983 and was fortunate to see him a few dozen times over various formats.

It's really difficult for me as a trombone player because part of me wants to listen to his music (much of it is brilliant), while the other part of me is disgusted. I feel like I can't listen to any of his music when I think about this. Especially his singing, where lyrics seem to take on new twisted meanings now that I know what happened at the end of his career and what was revealed afterwards. I think he may've thought he was doing his sons a favor in a really messed up sort of way, because he didn't want to take his own life and leave his children to die alone. But that is a completely insane thought. Even worse, I believe his death inspired J.J. Johnson, who later took his own life by gunshot after health and drug complications left him hopeless. In the end, I'm glad one of the sons managed to live and be supported by the community moving forward

I never knew about any of this. Thank you for the video.

Cool. Thanks for sharing

Dificult to not remember Lyle Mays. Another genious musiciam

Thank you ❤

Great story thanks for sharing ! I was living in Edmonton Alberta Canada in the early 1980s and someone said they had some young kids playing guitar down at the student union building so we went and it was the Pat Metheny group . I about fell off my own a** ! Been a fan ever since . Recently got the Metheny real book , it’s going to be so much fun to finally learn and put my sax to-what I’ve been listening to for years 🎷🎶😎

Cool. Thanks for sharing

He is the one i have gone to see more than any other. A true genius. BTW his name is misspelled.

Voice of this is so moronic, Charlie would vomit hearing it. Outta here after 8 seconds. Blyaaac. Thumb down

Les Paul heard Lenny on a recording as a teen and apparently wanted lessons not realizing he was such a young boy with genius ability on the guitar

Whats the point of a documentary on a guitar player, that features zero recordings of that guitarist? There is no guitar audio at all in this video.

He’s the Picasso of Jazz.

He sold a song for $500 to a white guy ,you forgot to say “ Evil White Guy”😂

Charlie Christian was a key figure in the development of the guitar in the 20th century, however it was Lonnie Johnson born Febuary 8th, 1899, not Charlie Christian, who first influence the single note solo style playing that we hear today in Jazz, Pop, Country, Folk, Soul and Rock music. Johnson is often categorized as a blues Musician, but he was a lot more then that.

Those solos never die I still listen and am still completely amazed.

Great video mate, that playing on Swing to Bop is outrageously good, one of the greatest guitar moments ever. I'm a fan of Mary Osborne who i believe was also influenced by the great man. Cheers mate.🎶👍

It always seems like the greatest people are deeply disturbed...

Another great video of one of my favorite most influential jazz guitarist thanks for posting this!! 🎸

A Name that is forgotten is George Barnes, same period, same impact, no one remember him.

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤😊

A couple of things that came to my mind: The stories and accounts of men showing up for important, often pivotal, meetings with others but wearing an ill fitting suit, or an old suit long out of fashion, or a loud suit where a conservative look is needed are striking in their simultaneous mix of pain and hilarity. Perhaps I'm missing something. Rose Room was a well established standard by the time of Hammond's engineered "performance audition" of Christian for Goodman's band. Why on earth would Benny Goodman think that Christian wouldn't know Rose Room? Reinhardt and Grappelli's incredibly beautiful and swinging version had already come out by 1937; it's a safe bet to think that Christian had heard it and loved it. Thanks for the video.

Thank you so much ❤

Before Charlie Christian the guitar in the big band setting was almost a percussion instrument. What a innovator! I once watched BBKing do a note for note demonstration of a Charlie Christian solo . Who knew?

Cool. Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for this Charlie Christian video! He is a legend. Your channel is truly amazing! 🍀
