Artist: Tiny Grimes Rating: Release Date: March 09, 1999Type: Compilation (best of)Genre: Jazz
Review Electric Guitar Master features a nice cross section of guitarist
Tiny Grimes ' more jazz-oriented material. An astonishingly gifted musician who combined the lithe fretwork of
Les Paul with the raw blues tradition of
T-Bone Walker , Grimes is often overlooked in favor of more well-known artists such as
Charlie Christian . Featuring such legendary artists as
Coleman Hawkins and
Art Tatum , this compilation includes various Grimes classics such as "Tiny's Tempo" and "Tiny's Boogie Woogie." ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide
