One of numerous Charlie Christian retrospectives released during the 1990s by the Masters of Jazz label, 1940, Vol. 4 taps a particularly tasty portion of this legendary guitarist's work with the Benny Goodman Quintet, Sextet and Septet. On tracks nine through thirteen, an extra dimension is added by the presence of Count Basie and several members of his trusty Kansas City swing band, including bassist Walter Page, trumpeter Buck Clayton, and saxophonist Lester Young. This compilation also contains examples of Christian's work as a member of an octet backing sweet dance band leader Dick Jurgens' star crooner Eddy Howard (tracks seven and eight). The inclusion of no less than six versions of "Wholly Cats" recommends this disc to seasoned jazzologists and studiously curious jazz heads rather than casual listeners who might panic in the face of repetition. Bear in mind, however, that listening to compilations that bristle with alternate takes is exactly how one becomes a self-made, seasoned jazzologist. Maybe six takes of "Wholly Cats" is exactly what you need. ~ arwulf arwulf, Rovi
