such a pleasant listen and the playing here is impactful, every pianist after Art Tatum wanted to be more like him.

This is one of the most important “albums” America has ever contributed to music all music made after this finds inspiration rooting to it

I don't know if I'm fully confident in calling this a perfect record, but it's gotta be one of the strangest and out there listening experiences you can get from this medium.

This is the album equivalent of a Wes Anderson movie if that makes sense

Some of these tracks turn to noodling but the ones that don't are great

This is so wonderful

This is such a monumental album with such incredible performances, it’s a flawless record.

Not a weak album but I find it that these songs don't feel as fleshed out as they could be.

Undeniably Charlie Christian is one fo the most influenccial jazz musicans of all time, for guitar at the very least, but while this sounds good, and you can tell Charlie is really paving a way for future jazz guitarists I can't say I'm in love with what he's doing like other other jazz guitarists such as John McLaughlin, Masayoshi Takanaka, Grant Green, and Wes Montgomery.

Really high highs but some tracks tend to go out there other ear

Not bad by any means but too short and gimmicky for my liking

This is very solid but not too remarkable imo

I enjoyed it, but I feel like a lot of these songs sound the same to me

This one of those albums I’ve heard since I was little and it has always stuck with me. Every time I listen to this record I always get this comfort washing over me, it feels like I’m being held by my grandma when I was younger.

Regardless of the feeling this is just cool jazz done perfectly, most poorly done cool jazz tend to fall into background music because they aren’t musically interesting enough to be give a real listen. This record is definitely not one of those ... read more

I laughed a lot to this

It’s not even like funny bad it’s just awful

Only gets a five because it’s so funny to me I’m the most unintentional way
