5 out of 5 stars Tiny, the Unsung Hero of Rock & Roll Guitar.......2005-12-27

For those of us who enjoy unearthing the roots of rock & roll guitar this Tiny Grimes compilation of mid to late 1940s sides is essential listening. Yes, it has the Charlie Parker date (which is great) but there's a LOT of great swinging stuff, some of it boppish, some of it blues, some of it R&B, and all of it paved the way for rock & roll. Tiny's tone is invariably hot with small amp distortion, like an angry Charlie Christian. It is easy to see how a fellow like Chuck Berry aspired to this kind of thing. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Classic selections from a classic musician.......2003-11-14

A great compilation featuring Tiny Grimes' classics such as "Romance Without Finance", "Tiny's Tempo" and "Red Cross" featuring the legendary Charlie Parker on alto sax. This cd also features Tiny's only national hit, "Midnight Special" which was recorded in 1948. The disc contains burnin' arrangements of Ellington's "C Jam Blues", Goodman/ Hampton's "Flying Home" and Arlen/Mercer's "That Old Black Magic". Released on the French "Blues and Rhythm Series Classics" label. If you need an introduction to the music of Tiny Grimes, I recommend this disc.
