CD ReviewsGood music, problematic sound quality T. Madden | 02/13/2010 (3 out of 5 stars) "The 1st half of this album is from a 1975 session with 5 guitarists playing unison lines,"Tony Rizzi's Five Guitars Play Charlie Christian".It features 8 standards (with cutesy renamed titles) made famous by Benny Goodman's band with Charlie Christian, and is technically excellent, but could prove a bit much for a casual listener.For guitar nuts only - The 2nd half is taken from a 10" record circa 1953. While the music on this portion is fine and even very lovely early 50's jazz, buyer beware! The sound is very bad.I am a huge fan of 50's jazz, but the surface noise on these sides is intolerable.If you want 50's guitar, I recommend you try Jimmy Raney, Mundell Lowe, Johnny Smith, Tal Farlowe Kenny Burrell etc.Not to knock Tony Rizzi in the least, he is superb.It's just too bad they couldn't find a cleaner source for the 1953 sessions."
