Stan Ayeroff Jazz Masters Charlie Christian PDF

This teacher would tell the students, if you can not improvise, at least copy the 'Charlie Christian' solo models that your music will already sound good.
He was the key, the gene for the development of bebop and cool jazz.

To this day his improvisations sound incredible and many of the elements of the genes of his improvisations are part of a great jazz cliché, not only of the guitar, but also of the piano, sax etc.
It is as if he developed the main gene of the jazz solos and said, I give it to the postarity, use the will, even though we can't escape some ideas of improvisation, for example, start with pause and play after the first time.

When I play certain passages of 'Charlie Christian' on the keyboard, I see that it is easy to do and understand the way that was done thinking on chords, but conceiving this on the guitar is extremely difficult, without even having something previous to copy.
For some specialists, that time it was even easier to create from scratch without references and without caring about poor opinions, then thinking and ideas flowed without barriers.

'Charlie Christian'
This recording above is amazing, you notice that a man holding a long cable with microphone walks towards each musician who improvises on the stage, all live, so you will notice that the solo of the piano, sax or TP, are far away and the volume begins to increase due to the approach of the dizzy microphone man, while the other instruments lose volume on each solo. There was no stage microphone at that time.

LISTENING TO CHARLIE CHRISTIAN IS PURE HISTORY.
