"Mary Osborne: Queen of the Jazz Guitar"


Recommended Posts

Hey all, the most recent Night Lights show, Mary Osborne: Queen Of The Jazz Guitar is now posted for online listening. It includes many of Osborne's 1940s recordings as a leader and with Mary Lou Williams, Beryl Booker, and the Coleman Hawkins 52nd Street All-Stars, as well as three sides from her 1959 A GIRL AND HER GUITAR date, a track from the Clark Terry CATS VS. CHICKS session, the 1977 Marian McPartland-led NOW'S THE TIME, and her final leader date in 1981.

 

Coming up this week: "A Few Miles From Memphis: Harold Mabern in the 1960s."

Is there an easily accessible reissue of her 1959 Warwick LP out?

Being unable to find that one, out of despair a couple of years ago I bought her later "Now and Then" LP on the Stash label (which includes about half of that Warwick LP) but still ... ;)

If you do another Mary Osborne show, let me know. I have a (presumably) one-of-kind acetate, purchased in an Atlanta antique store, of a broadcast by Osborne's trio from 1947. She mostly features her singing in the 10-minute spot, but there are some nice guitar licks along the way.

Do you still have this?
