Les Paul Trio - The Jazz Collector Edition (1991)

Along with the 1944 JATP concert, this bargain-priced collection of 21 MacGregor radio transcriptions from 1947 is the best example we have of Les Paul's abilities as a jazz guitarist. Though one can still hear the formative Django Reinhardt harmonic influence in the single-string runs, Paul's showboating style is fully formed here, marked by humor and mind-boggling speed, but also by a lyrical gift in ballads like "Stardust." The songs, mostly standards and uncredited public domain material, are all rather brief, but that imposes a welcome discipline on the solos, although Paul did tend to repeat certain ideas from song to song at that time. The CD box fails to name the members of the trio, but one can surmise from the year that Paul Smith is on piano, Cal Gooden is on rhythm guitar, and Bob Meyer is on bass; and they make a nifty, tight-knit foursome.~Richard S.
