"Kay's Fantasy...

Tea For Two...

I Wrote it for Jo...

Once in Awhile...



these 4 tracks are certainly 'must hear'

for fans of chordal style guitar playing...



In these early recordings George Van Eps

is playing with a pick rather than with the fingerstyle

method he used when making great

recordings like "Mellow Guitar", "my Guitar", etcetera...



On these sessions he gave the bass player

a chord chart (so as to alert him to all

the modulatons to come!)

and away they went...



Van Eps driving rhythm and exciting arranging sense make the

4 tracks mentioned above a mini post graduate course

in guitar genius...the descending triplet fills

in "Once in Awhile" are worth the price all on their own...



please give a listen and enjoy!"
