Lonnie Johnson ranks among the most influential figures in jazz and blues history, a virtuoso guitarist whose innovative single-string technique influenced every guitarist following. This RST Records anthology collects his output across a crucial period, documenting his evolution from swing-era jazz sides through blues recordings from 1937 to 1942. His guitar tone is clean and precise, rhythmically sophisticated, harmonically inventive in ways that anticipate rock and roll's guitar language. The chronological approach reveals his artistic development across these pivotal years. Source recordings vary in fidelity, but the historical value is immense. Essential for guitarists, jazz historians, and anyone understanding how American music developed from these foundations. A comprehensive document of an artist whose influence cannot be overstated.
