Join legendary jazz pianist, composer and educator Dr. Billy Taylor and his trio (Chip Jackson on bass and Steve Johns on drums) and special guest guitarist Mark Whitfield as they walks you through the musical history of the jazz guitar. They demonstrate the styles of jazz guitar greats like Django Reinhardt, Freddie Green, Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian, George Benson, and Kenny Burrell. The group also performs jazz standards, including "Freddie Freeloader," "In A Sentimental Mood," and "Just The Way You Look Tonight" (recorded in 1997 at C. D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, VA).
