Review of Progressions: 100 Years of Jazz Guitar
For jazz guitar players or fans of jazzguitar, this program is like an orgy. And to top it off, the great Les Paul narrates it. Can't think of a better person to host this program. I didn't think an hour was sufficient to whet my appetite, but that makes for great programming, doesn't it?
The piece makes great use of audio clips from great players such as Christian, Reinhardt, Raney, Benson, McLaughlin and host of other legends. It helps listeners understand the evolution of the instrument. Deep down, I prayed there was a 3 hour version of the program.
