One of the finest and yet most underrated guitarists was Chuck Wayne (1923/1997). Chuck was on of the guitar pioneers of Modern Jazz and recorded and played with Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker and later with Woody Herman's great "Second Herd". He made very few albums under his own name although he was revered by all the guitarists like Barney Kessel, Wes Montgomery, George Benson etc. This fine album recorded in 1963 was a fine showcase for Chuck's talents and it's called "Tapestry" Chuck performs here with bassist Ernoe Furtado and drummer Jimmy Campbell. It's a nice mix of Waye's originals and well chosen standards from the Great American Songbook. You'll hear why Chuck Wayne was so respected and why he was great!
