Free Music Review: Van Eps - Master Guitarist
Hit: 5 Stars

Mellow Guitar was originally release on December 31, 1956.

If you play guitar of any style, this should be one of the foundational albums in your collection. Mr. Van Eps is called the father of the 7-String guitar and you can learn a lot about bass, rhythm, and melody for Van Eps plays all three, at the same time. Influencing many guitarists, but only recording a few albums, he was in great demand by the giants of the music industry and was a "first call" musician by many recording artist.

This album contains both solo and accompanied cuts of standards and two original songs. "Tango El Bongo", in my opinion, is the highlight of this collection. This original piece is pure genius played by a master technician who combines excellence in execution and brilliance in composition. If you love classical music, don't be surprised if you hear a little Debussy in the bridge.

Also included is an eight page booklet with information and vintage photos. A first class reissue.

Mellow Guitar Poster

A renaissance man--he created a seventh string for his guitar, making the bass almost irrelevant--George Van Eps combined the clean precision of a classical guitarist with improvisational skills second to none. Whether accompanied by a hip string section led by Paul Weston, or just vibes, bass and drums (or bongos), Van Eps' unquenchable fire burns an elegant icy blue on this 1956 uptown masterpiece.
Reissue of the renowned jazz guitarist's 1956 debut album. Features all 12 tunes from the original Columbia Records issue, plus the original cover art. 1999 release.
