Nobody swings like Charlie Christian, nobody has the drive of Charlie Christian...except perhaps Barney Kessel! God Bless those guys, wherever they transported to.

Thank you for posting this.

This may be one of those records BK refers to........not sure it's the correct title, but it is w/ Monk at Minton's, .

There are others at Minton's too on this Discogs site......

Had no idea those lp's even existed.......
