Great Jazz Guitarists Part 2

The 1950s was a pivotal time in the world of jazz guitar, with the popular guitarists of the day moving away from the bebop idiom to develop further the range of the instrument and delve deeper into the realm of fusion. A complete guide to the post-bebop exponents of jazz guitar, this book critically examines the work of such seminal artists as Tal Farlow, Wes Montgomery, John McLaughlin, Martin Taylor and Eric Clapton, and contains detailed transcriptions of some of their most memorable and significant work, allowing amateur musicians the means to emulate the masters. Compiled and written by Ivor Mairants, who personally selected and transcribed the music. Mairants was himself one of the most innovative and active jazz guitarists of the 20th century. A contemporary of Les Paul and Django Reinhardt, his personal anecdotes and insight make this a truly unique work.
