Grandes guitarristas de Jazz - 1

Aunque la guitarra tuvo una tradicin jazzstica mayor que cualquier otro instrumento (incluyendo el banjo) se considera que la historia de la guitarra de jazz tiene su inicio con Charlie Christian que se uni a la banda de Benny Goodman en 1939. Hasta l la guitarra fundamentalmente era empleada como instrumento rtmico y de acompaamiento armnico por los cantantes de folk-blues y de baladas de blues. Christian, inmerso en la poca del Swing, tocaba con gran virtuosismo sus melodas y solos. Introdujo en el aspecto armnico la novedad de tocar sus improvisaciones en los acordes de transicin que se producan entre las armonas principales del tema. Durante los aos 20 se hicieron famosos los guitarristas Johnny St. Cyr y Lonnie Johnson, que introdujeron el contraste entre la interpretacin rtmica de los acordes y el denominado estilo singlenote o solos. Durante la poca del swing, Freddie Green fue el guitarrista ms notable de los que empleaban el estilo rtmico de acordes. Posteriormente, Teddy Bunn y Al Casey desarrollaron con gran gusto y perfeccin tcnica la ligazn del estilo rtmico y el singlenote. Pero sin duda uno de los guitarristas que ms influyo en los msicos de jazz americanos fue Django Reinhardt, msico gitano que, con su quinteto Hot Club de France, imprimi un carcter singular al jazz en Europa msica vivamente influida por sus tradiciones culturales (violn cngaro, guitarra flamenca, etc.). Otra de las grandes aportaciones al jazz procedi de Brasil y de msicos como Laurindo Almeida, Baden Powell, Bola Sete y Gismonti, que buscaron la conexin entre la tradicin clsica de la guitarra espaola y el jazz, aadindole componentes rtmicas entre otras de la tradicin yoruba de frica Occidental. Durante los aos 50 destacan guitarristas como Kessel, por su peculiar viveza rtmica; Raney, de gran calidad armnica, o Johnny Smith, famoso por la calidad de su sonido. De estos aos tambin son las primeras experiencias en el campo de la electrnca aplicada a la guitarra, por medio de Les Paul. Despus surgen guitarristas de la talla de Farlow, Bauer y Burrell. Entre los cincuenta y sesenta el muy comercial Wes Montgomery acapara el protagonismo de la interpretacin guitarrstica de melodas de jazz. Su legado fue continuado por George Benson y Pat Martino, aunque con trayectorias diferentes. Con posterioridad aparece el polifactico John McLaughlin, que participa de las experiencias de Montgomery, Hendrix y B.B. King, para crear una msica tan particular y espiritual como la suya. La dcada de los setenta se caracteriza por la fusin, y en ese contexto estilstico surgen figuras como Path Metheny o Carlos Santana. Sin embargo, en el extremo opuesto ms afn al Swing se encuentran Joe Pass, Bucky Pizzarelli y George Barnes. La corriente contempornea conduce al be-bop y el neo-bop, con figuras como Abercrombie, Eschete y Diorio.
