Charlie Byrd - Bossa Nova Guitar Music Master

Article Category: Entertainment

Author Name: Steven Herron

Charlie Byrd was one of the most intriguing and distinct guitar players in jazz and popular music. Charlie Byrd was a leading advocate of the acoustic guitar as a jazz solo instrument when everyone else was going electric and a student of classical guitarist Andres Segovia who wanted to merge classical guitar methods along with jazz improvisation.

In the 1950s Charlie Byrd was already changing the popular music with his fusion of jazz and classical guitar techniques in a supportive 3 piece group that consisted of bassist Keeter Betts and percussion player Bertel Knox. Their repertory merged typical combo jazz with Charlie Byrd's solo classic guitar pieces. With Charlie Byrd's record albums the fine art of jazz guitar music got one more venue of expression still much in use today, a half century since Byrd initially made his mark with "Desafinado.".

2012 commemorates the fifty year celebration of bossa nova guitar music getting into the pop society, facilitated by Charlie Byrd and his collaborator, saxophonist Stan Getz. Their hit recording "Desafinado" reached No. 15 on the American Top 40 charts in October, 1962 and was a very early crossover success, among a handful in jazz. "Desafinado" stayed in U.S. pop playlists for 10 weeks as well as reached No. 11 on the U.K. radio stations in 1962. What began as a notion and music experiment visualized by Charlie Byrd quickly assumed higher proportions and opened the floodgates for the bossa nova fad that followed. Take into consideration the subsequent outing by Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto, launched as the British Invasion was in full swing. "The Girl From Ipanema" reached No. 5 in 1964 and won a Grammy for Record Of The Year in 1965.

The unique, feel, and approach of bossa nova guitar music influenced countless pop celebrities, performers of all stripes, and famous musicians after that and since. The success of bossa nova in the U.S.A. set the stage for the importing and international promoting of regional Brazilian composers such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Luiz Bonfa, Joao Gilberto, Bola Sete, Baden Powell, and Sergio Mendes.

In reconsideration, Charlie Byrd's impact on the globe's music has actually been transcendent and profound and continuously reverberate in practically every corner of the globe. Charlie Byrd started playing the guitar at age nine. He at first studied along with his dad who played a wide array of stringed instruments. Charlie Byrd's early influences were jazz and swing guitarists Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt. He heard and played along with Django in Paris in the mid 1940's while in a touring Army show band.
