Album Description

Seventy-eight guitar classics are put together in 100 YEARS OF JAZZ GUITAR, a remarkable 4-CD anthology that yields the absolutely definitive jazz guitar collection ever assembled. The set spans the years 1906 to 2001, from the ragtime banjo of Vess Ossman (originally recorded on an Edison cylinder) to the diaphonous chords of Bill Frisell. In between, virtually every major figure of the jazz guitar weighs in, from Eddie Lang, Django Reinhardt, and Charlie Christian to Les Paul, Tal Farlow, and Wes Montgomery, and right up to Jim Hall, Grant Green, George Benson, Pat Martino, John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield as well as Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana, and the great Jimi Hendrix.

In addition, the box also contains a book filled with photographs of each of the principles heard herein, an overview essay by guitar scholar Charles Alexander, old guitar ads, photos of classic guitar models and amps, solo transcriptions and technical analysis, testimonials from guitar legends, and precise discographical data. Clearly, 100 YEARS OF JAZZ GUITAR is the set to get if one is even remotely interested in the history and development of guitar over the course of the past century.

4 out of 5 stars Progressions: 100 Years Of Jazz Guitar.......2007-02-11

What a shame one never gets to hear Oscar Almen do what he does better
than just about any other Guitarist,Or hear enough Django,Charlie Christen
,Teddy Bunn,To really understand why they are more than just fine Guitarist....they are "Jazz Greats"

Thats because this Collection is more Intrested in getting
non jazz fans to buy this set.
There's a few odd things about this very good box set.The fact
that the cover of the Booklet(which is very nice)is a picture of a flattop
guitar,and there's plenty of Guitars and Guitarist that should be in a rock or pop collection

I guess when they were trying to update the fine two record set
50 years of jazz Guitar,They stuck with the one track pre artist.
This makes for a lot of space for many guitarists,Which is the main
problem with this set.Instead of giving you 2 or 3 cuts from real
jazz greats(not just fine Guitar Players)they fill the four
cds with Pop and Rock recordings that have no place in a jazz Guitar
collection.
I love Santana ,but he's not Jazz,Part of something being jazz in
improvisation,something that Santana doen't do much of .Which
doesn't make "Europa" any less great,.Also just because you
Improvise doesn't mean that a artist is a jazz also.Theres plenty
of Guitarists that have nothing to do with jazz on this set.Some
are jazz players who play pop(Earl Klugh),Others like Hendrix
or Jeff Beck aren't Jazz at all.The last pages
of the booklet are pictures of Strats and Les Pauls and even
a Classical guitar gets a double page spread how silly is That!

4 out of 5 stars This collection could have been better.......2006-07-26

After listening to this 4 cd set several times I've come to the conclusion that it could have been better condensed into 2 spectacular jazz cd's. First of all, cd 1 starts off with what sounds like banjo. Who's bright idea what it to include it on 100 years of jazz guitar? There are also songs that are dominated by saxophone and/or vocals with guitar as a background instrument.
If I wanted to hear vocals and sax I would have purchased cd's with vocals and/or Coltrane or Sonny Rollins, repectively.
There are only a few gems on cd 1 most notably Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian.
Cd 2 is probably the best with cd 3 close behind. However, can somebody tell me why Jimi Hendrix doing "Manic Depression" is on this cd? If you know the answer then perhaps you may also know why in the world Carlos Santana is on this collection as well.
And Derek Bailey's 1997, "Should Be Reversed" is just garbage!!! THIS IS NOT JAZZ!!! Who's bright idea was it to put this track on the compilation? I keep thinking, another Django tune, another Wes Montgomery, Pass, Ellis, Burrell tune would have been better suited to make this a better compilation.
All that 1970's distorted psuedo-jazz fusion racket by the likes of John McLaughlin and others dominate cd 4. Cd 4 contains all the "really want to play rock, but call themselves jazz guitarists."
There are some great guitarists and tasty licks on this cd package, but there is also NON jazz on this too. Be advised.

5 out of 5 stars Historical Integrity!.......2006-06-06

Everyone will find something of their own here, be it pre-Charlie Christian or late period Miles. My own contribution (as a reviewer) is to commend the compilers for a keen sense of history. Instead of simply falling into the listmania cliche of "the 100 best X" they have chosen players according to a wide variety of criteria. Two that JUMP out here are: (1) how INFLUENTIAL a guitarist has been regardless of record sales or fame; (2) how HISTORICALLY or MUSICALLY significant a given recording has been. In the first category I note the recognition of Lenny Breau and Sonny Sharrock who are far from household naems. In the second category I note the inclusion of tracks that point to landmarks in the evolution of music and jazz guitar : Birds of Fire, June 15 from Duster (Burton/Coryell), Bright Size Life. This box set will delight you if you are a well-seasoned jazz enthusiast or coming to the genre for the first time. A fantastic value!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Essential guitar history.......2006-05-17

A monumental work, this four-CD box set celebrates the evolution of jazz from the perspective of our favorite instrument. Featuring representative cuts from 75 pivotal players, 100 Years of Jazz Guitar offers selections from the dawn of recorded music (originally captured on Edison cylinders) extending to the present day. The adventure begins with a harp-guitarist strumming in 1906 and stretches to Bill Frisell's "Ron Carter," released in 2001. Relatively unsung giants, such as Lonnie Johnson, Roy Smeck, and Eddie Condon rub shoulders with the likes of Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian, Tal Farlow, Wes Montgomery, and Pat Metheny. The scope is enormous -- shifting from Sol Hoopii's bouncy lap slide to Marc Ribot's skronky sonics is a mind-bender -- but that's what makes this collection so valuable. We hear the entire spectrum of jazz guitar, from swing to bebop to funk to avant-garde. There's plenty to read, as well: John Scofield penned the collection's intro (he also appears musically), there's a bio for every player, and 25 of the included guitarists reveal who they find inspiring and why. "Essential" is an overused word, but in this case, it's wonderfully appropriate.

5 out of 5 stars 100 Years.......2006-03-11

Sometimes you just love something but have no idea about where it came from - its history. This set has filled in a lot of blanks for me and has had me listening to stuff by some great guitarists that I wouldn't ordinarily tune in to. And it's all good.

5 out of 5 stars Mary in Cornelius, NC.......2007-06-08

Excellent CD...cleaver writing and arrangements. And it is very different from his most recent recording "Diamonds to Dust," which is also excellent (more poignant writing though).

4 out of 5 stars Nashville Slick.......2005-02-18

If you want more Nashville slick, you'll have to go elsewhere. Gurf Morlix's "Cut & Shoot" is down home country that sets your toe tapping, warms your heart a bit, and puts a smile on your face. From the opener "Yesterday She Didn't" he takes a fairly simple lyric with a fairly simple tune and it simply works quite well, "Yesterday she didn't, today she does, what I've been dreaming became what was, now I'm in heaven & it's all because yesterday she didn't but today she does!" My favorite track "Were You Lyin' Down?" takes a similar lyrical twist & sets your toe tapping with some excellent guitar picking, "Did you leave your lipstick on his coffee cup? You got me feeling like a lonely pup. Were you lying down when you stood me up?" "Ten Years of Love" is an excellent tune with a great breakup lyric. "The Whole Truth" is another great toe tapper with an almost country-polka beat, "I got half a mind to tell the whole truth." On "I'll Change," Gurf does his Hank Williams vocal with his voice cracking into the upper range on a clunky lyric that makes it seem more heartfelt & unpretentious, "I'll change to win back your love, I'll rearrange the stars above, whatever it takes to do what I'm dreaming of." "Where There Is Smoke" written with Jim Lauderdale is another delightful midtempo tune. "Your Sister" is a gumdrop of a ballad with another humorous lyric that reflects Gurf's dry sense of humor, "I'm gonna have to sleep with your sister; Since we broke up, I sure have missed her; I might even get a blister, but I'm gonna have to sleep with your sister." You remember the old saying, "Man's reach must exceed his grasp or what is a heaven for?" Well, Gurf, he don't reach all that far, but his grasp well exceeds his talent and results in this delightful set. None of these tunes will sound startlingly new. However, on a generation of Nashville slick in country music, it's nice to go back to country roots. Enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars Take it for what it is........2005-01-20

I love the way Gurf Morlix carves out his own turf, disregarding critics and possibly even admirers. You get a sense listening to him here, that he writes and plays for his own pleasure and would put forth just as good an effort whether he were in Carnegie Hall or his own Garage.

Take this album for what it is and you'll enjoy it immensely. What is it? Gurf playing and singing all by his lonesome, save for a little help from a drummer on a few tracks. Some cuts remind me of Buck Owens or Dave Dudley and others veer into real toe tappin' rockabilly.

Gurf is as polished as ever here on every instrument he attempts. And his vocals...... well, he's no Merle Haggard, but he applies his texas twang to uncomplicated, yet creative lyrics in such a way, that you can't help but like it.

Album of the Year? Far from it. But if you're not careful you might just find you're singing along with ole Gurf, as you head down the highway.

5 out of 5 stars Gurf's Hillbilly disc, and his best.......2004-12-12

Good ol' Gurf; I knew it was just a matter of time before he gave us a taste of some definitive roots music. While his previous two efforts were roots rock based, he's replaced the electric guitar with a steel guitar as the forefront of the sound on this beauty. His songwriting suits him much better in this territory, and this is by far his strongest disc yet. I read one review saying that Gurf hadn't recorded his masterpiece yet with his previous disc "Fishin' in the Muddy", but he may have just done it with "Cut' N Shoot". He gets bad press sometimes, but who gives a damn. It seems all the best roots rockers do, and that's just 'cause they do it their way, not everybody else's. That's why I love this stuff, it's authentic, true blue punch-in-the-guts music.

The most kid-friendly of Michelle Shocked's three simultaneous June 2005 releases, Got No Strings brings the spirit of swing--from western to supper-club--to a collection of Disney soundtrack tunes. The steel guitar of Greg Leisz helps transform the familiar "A Dream Is a Wish" into a honky-tonk waltz, until the sprightly fiddle of Gabe Witcher takes a break that recalls the 1930s' Hot Club of France. Shocked imbues "When You Wish upon a Star" with a breathy sophistication, gives "Spoonful of Sugar" a bluesy tinge, and has never sounded more tender than she does on the lullaby "Baby Mine." Producer/guitarist Nick Forster of Hot Rize and band provide sprightly support throughout. From the hipster scat of "To Be a Cat" to the concluding yodel of "Spoonful of Sugar," Shocked and her musicians sound like they're having fun. --Don McLeese

1 out of 5 stars This is a great album.......2007-01-10

I play it for my child everyday... I have never heard any other Michelle Shocked albums, but this one is so good I should check out her other ones. I heard this was a jam session too, like recorded in one evening.. Wow this woman must be talented to pull off such a high quality album in one night. This is a kid friendly album that both you and your child will cherish.

5 out of 5 stars I never got to the other two.......2006-05-26

I purchased Threesome because Michelle Shocked feels like an old friend to me and I like old friends. The first time I ever heard "If Love Was A Train" I perked right up and by the time I heard "Anchorage" I was in love. To this day Arkansas Traveler is one of my all time favorites as is Short Sharp and I gladly revisited them in their re-issued quality controlled form. Then I decided to see what Michelle is up to now and I can't tell you fully because I haven't stopped listening to No Strings. Maybe the other two discs are even better but I wouldn't know that yet. I love this disc. It came to me at just the right time in my life and I feel like she's singing wonderful words of encouragement just to me. So nice. And I don't even like Disney. Or I didn't think i did. Do yourself a favor and get this right away. You need it. Oh boy, i'm going to listen to it again right now, just talking about it.

5 out of 5 stars Simple and Terrific.......2005-10-25

According to the liner notes, Michelle recorded this album in three days. Those were three VERY productive days. This underproduced work is a perfect tonic to the overproduced, over distorted, and underwhelming music of today. It never pretends to be more than it is, and by that, transcends the jaded listener to a wonderful musical interlude.

In three adjectives: simple, direct, beautiful.

5 out of 5 stars Adults and children rejoice: Disney takes a Western Swing!.......2005-09-19

Shocked's wellspring of creativity is clearly overflowing, as she'w issued three diversely toned albums all at once. This disc reimagineers classic and obscure Disney tunes as jazzy western swing songs. The sprightly treasure "Spoonful of Sugar" is rearranged as a sly story-song, rather than accompaniment for an eye-popping film sequence, and the joyous "Bare Necessities" is given a twangy, toe-tapping arrangement lined by Greg Leisz' lap steel and Gabe Witcher's fiddle. The Aristocrats' "To Be a Cat" and Pinnochio's "Give a Little Whistle" sound like they were plucked from Le Hot Club, and "Dream is a Wish" is turned into a gentle waltz. Parents seeking refuge from overbearing TV dinosaurs and wiggling adults, will find a fine collection of terrific songs rendered fresh and airy for children who will be enchanted by the Disney magic. The musicianship is top-notch, which means that you won't tire of hearing these gems on their hundredth play... in a row. [©2005 redtunictroll at hotmail dot com]

5 out of 5 stars Definitely Not Just For Kids.......2005-07-19

Ya gotta admire and respect Michelle Shocked for making her music her way (even when you might not "get" what she's trying to do). She never compromises her art, even if compromising might give her a bit more popularity. So this album is pure joy: you can tell she did exactly what she wanted to do -- and the result is charming and delightful and accessible. Who else would have thought of doing a full country-swing album of classic Disney songs? And who else could have pulled it off? Answer: No one but Michelle Shocked.
For me, the only disappointing track is "Spoonful of Sugar." For some reason, it sounds a bit depressing to me. Was that supposed to be irony?
"To Be A Cat" (from THE ARISTOCATS) is my favorite track, although I must admit the song never struck me as one of the "classic" Disney songs. Shocked makes it so clever and sophisticated and irresistably swingin' that I wonder why I never paid much attention to it before.
Don't think the album is "just for kids." I know this middle-aged grump will be listening to it for a long time.

    Album Description

    Real railroads haul passengers, freight, and mail. The trains of our music and literature also carry symbols: they can represent freedom and wanderlust, eros, machismo, escape, work, the ultimate journey that marks life's end, or nostalgia for a bygone age. This collection of songs about trains and railroads offers some of each of these, from the turn-of-the-century tale of Casey Jones to the "disappearing railroad blues" of the 1970s' "City of New Orleans." Rounder's Classic Railroad Songs series proudly presents some of the best and most beloved train songs recorded since 1930. Norm Cohen, author of Long Steel Rail: The Railroad in American Folksong shares his extensive knowledge in the booklet notes. Artists: Hank Snow, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Flatt & Scruggs, the Delmore Brothers and Wayne Raney, Steve Goodman, Sleepy LaBeef , Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, the Whitstein Brothers, the Carter Family, Tony Rice, Jim & Jesse, the Stanley Brothers, Mary McCaslin. Also available: Steel Rails: Classic Railroad Songs, V. 1, Rounder 1128.

    5 out of 5 stars Great songs, mostly in a traditional country style.......2002-10-05

    Rounder have released several excellent compilations of train songs, covering folk, blues, country and bluegrass styles, each including comprehensive liner notes from Norm Cohen, who wrote a book about trains songs (long out of print, unfortunately).

    This particular collection is prefominately traditional country, though Sleepy LaBeef provides a rockabilly cover of Mystery train and there are a few bluegrass tracks too.

    Johnny Cash (who has recorded many train songs) opens the set with Casey Jones, a song which (like other old songs, especially Frankie and Johnny) exists with different lyrics - if you have other Casey Jones songs, listen carefully and comapare.

    Steve Goodman wrote City of New Orleans, and it's good to see his own recording of the song included here. I like Willie Nelson's version best, but that version is easy to find while Steve's is much rarer - and still worth hearing.

    Patsy Cline sings a fine version of Life's railway to heaven (not really a train song, but who cares?).

    The brilliant but obscure folk-country singer Mary McCaslin sings The Cannonball - a song she wrote herself about the passing of the steam age.

    There are so many other great songs here, but I'll not waste your time going through them all - if you have any interest in train songs, just buy this and all the other Rounder train collections.

    4 out of 5 stars Another solid collection from Rounder.......2000-07-12

    There's not a clunker on here, and it's good to see "City Of New Orleans", what Johnny Cash calls "the best damn train song ever written."

    "Mystery Train" makes another appearance on Volume 3, but that's more than forgiveable. I wouldn't mind an entire album of "Mystery Train" versions, a la Rhino's "Louie Louie" album.

    Wow! What an excellent historical overview of the string bass-an instrument that doesn't always get the attention it deserves. This anthology is a wonderful resource for my course about the jazz masters of the bass. Bravo!!

      From the 1890s to the dawn of the first World War, ragtime reigned supreme in American pop culture--a bridge between parlor music and jazz. And few compilations showcase the diversity of the genre as well as Classic Ragtime. America was in flux and so was its music: Joseph Moskowitz's cymbalum solo on 1916's "Operatic Rag" spoofs classical music's arias with a frenzied syncopation, Arthur Collins's "Brother Noah Gave Out Checks for Rain" from 1907 equally addresses the important themes of baseball and religion, and Sam Moore's "Laughing Rag" from 1921 is played on a Hawaiian guitar. The piano, formerly a classical instrument, is starting to show its Tin Pan Alley stylings, and jazz instrumentation (as on the Dixieland Jug Blowers' track from 1926) is starting to become prominent. All in all, it's a fascinating trip, with great transfers from 78s that'll have you forgetting how old this spirited music is. Classic rags by Jelly Roll Morton, Thomas "Fats" Waller, and even Tommy Dorsey are also included--a comprehensive snapshot of the music from its recorded roots to 1937. --Jason Verlinde

      4 out of 5 stars Excellent disc; sound flaw?.......2004-04-09

      This is a great collection of stuff that you're unlikely to find anywhere else, unless you're a 78 collector. The other reviews hit the mark.
      However, my disc seems to have a sound flaw, and I don't know if it's just my particular copy or the whole lot. The left channel has annoying clicks whenever the music gets loud. This happens on every song, on every CD player I've tried. Because the clicks are only on the left side, and on every track, this seems to be a flaw with the CD and not the original recordings. Because I have a system that can play either channel in both speakers, I turn it to the mono right channel and the problem is solved. If you do not have this kind of setup, be warned.

      5 out of 5 stars Rare Ragtime Gems!.......2004-01-16

      The title of this CD is a little misleading, "Offshoots of Ragtime" is perhaps a little more accurate. By definition, "Classic Ragtime" generally refers to a solo piano rag following the form AABBACCDD. I don't think any track on this disc fits that pattern. Nevertheless, this is one fantastic set! It's packed with historic recordings from the early 1910s to the late 1930s (the earliest recording here was made over ten years after the first rag was published so "roots" in the title is out). The remastering is excellent, and the liner notes with discographical information for each track are very good as well. The musical selections represent a wide variety of late ragtime and early jazz styles, presenting well-known classics such as Jelly Roll Morton's "The Pearls" and Fats Waller's "Gladyse" alongside forgotten gems like Sugar Underwood's "Dew Drop Alley Stomp" (my favorite on the disc) and Sam Moore's haunting "Laughing Rag." Because of the variety on this disc, it's one that I can listen to quite often without growing tired of hearing the same tracks again and again. If you have any interest in classic jazz music, ragtime, or vaudeville, this is a good disc to have. Highly recommended!

      5 out of 5 stars Woah... how did you find this?.......2002-08-28

      With all the "Various Artists" CDs and what-nots you're very lucky to have found a collection like this. As I was, via a gift. This collection ranks up there with the best of the Yazoo collections, (Rukus Juice, etc)... and therefore up there with some of the best gifts ever.

      I'm assuming you're well versed in the oldtimey recordings... if so... than don't hesitate, this collection is superb! It is one of my "dessert island" discs, which include such great recordings as Miles Davis - Kind of Blue, the Beach Boys - Pet Sounds,... you dig? It's that vital... and haunting... If you're not a regular listener of the old stuff and are curious... Pick It Up! This stuff is catchy and sounds great coming from old dusty 78s... SNIIIFFFF... ahhhh smell that history.

      4 out of 5 stars Atmosphere of the past captured here!.......2000-08-27

      If you are curious about the entertainment and popular culture of America in the early decades of the 1900's, than this collection is for you. It is a fun audio exploration of the musical forms which influenced early jazz and blues. I think the term ragtime should be understood to have a broader meaning here than simply the form of the usual piano and orchestral pieces associated with it. THIS ALBUM IS A MUST FOR AMERICAN MUSIC HISTORY FANS!

      5 out of 5 stars A Musical Companion for the Book, Lost Chords.......1999-12-01

      If you don't have a large record collection of hot jazz from the '20's,'30's, and '40's, this CD is an excellent purchase for two main reasons. First it's a good survey of white hot jazz in its own right. For example, if you like the Casa Loma Orchestra's cut that's included, you can buy a complete CD (as I did) of that group.

      The other more interesting reason is that it is a companion to the incredible book of the same name. Now you can follow along and hear just what the author, Richard Sudhalter, is talking about -- sort of a mixed media experience. This is the reason that the CD does not follow strict historical order when it comes to the takes it contains, which is slightly off-putting without the book to go along with it.

      You can buy the CD without the book, but if you buy the book, you really should buy the CD as well.
