mikeweil Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Hi everyone, has anybody heard recordings of this guitarist? How is he? Here's a 78 currently on ebay: I scored another one recently that Cal Tjader plays bongos on but have yet to organize the transfer ...

Big Beat Steve Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I have two of his earliest 78s (rec. 1945): Empty Ballroom Blues Pt. I + II (Pacific 603) Rose Room/Mexican Hat Dance (Pacific 613) The first one reminds me of the small-combo post-war swing/R&B combos such as those by Saunders king, Pee Wee Crayton, etc, Rose room (feat. Barney bigard on clarinet) leans a bit more towards typical mid-40s small-band swing, and Mexican Hat Dance shows he'd been listening to the Western Swing guitar virtuosos of the day too.
