Anybody know anything about the piano player? His recording career? I transcribed this whole tune for guitar a love it all, but want to know where I can find info/recordings on the piano player.
The lick at 2:50 is actually a quote from "Seven Come Eleven", a tune Christian co-wrote with Benny Goodman and recorded with the Goodman 6tet. I've been playing jazz (sax) for over 30 years, but Christian was my first influence. He started recording at the age of 21 and was dead from TB at 23. In that short span, he co-led a revolution (with Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Clarke, Thelonious Monk and Charlie Parker) that changed the face of jazz in general (and jazz guitar in particular) forever.
This is amazing. I never heard this song by the great Charlie Christian before. Thanks to whoever put this here. Christian plays, as usual, superbly. He is the father of ALL modern guitarists! Along with Django Rienhardt, of course.

@Tallsmilingtree Django's style changed profoundly under the influence of Charlie Christian. For the better in my estimation.

That riff at 2:50 has been in my brain since 1969. Ba-da-dada-da-du-dadat and repeat.
