Description: Description: Fun on the Frets: Early Jazz Guitar (USA 18-track 12” Vinyl LP Compilation album featuring: Dick McDonough, George Van Eps, Carl Kress and Tony Mottola housed in picture sleeve in excellent condition. This Yazoo LP has many rather rare acoustic guitar performances. Carl Kress, a great chordal player, is heard on ten duets with fellow guitarist Tony Mottola in 1941, a couple of hot numbers with Dick McDonough (1934's "Danzon" and "I've Got a Feeling You're Fooling" from 1936) and two 1939 solos. In addition the seven-string guitar pioneer George Van Eps is featured on four numbers with a trio from 1949. Those listeners who have only heard of Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian among early guitarists are well-advised to search for this fascinating LP.
