"Eddie Lang was the greatest jazz guitarist prior to Django Reinhart(many feel Woody Allen's movie "Sweet & Lowdown" was a mock bio on him, being played by Sean Penn!), and in this CD compilation one gets a good idea of Lang's talents, this CD features him mostly playing as a sideman, however Lang's solos are always great. If you want his solos and his groups as a leader buy "Pioneers Of The Jazz Gritar""

One of the best guitars I've ever heard

"This CD got a great sample of the guitar virtuoso Eddie Lang, I heard one of the tracks of this CD on the radio and I fell in love with it. I assure you that you won't be disapponted, and if you think that only black people were the best jazz musicians at that time, this CD will tell you that also there were white virtuosos that could speak to your soul with their music.
Best track: Add a little wiggle."
