THE GUITARS INC. / Invitation & Soft and Subtle (blue moon盤CD)
1958年当時のハリウッドで勢いがあったギタリスト5人を集めて、コンポーザーのジャック・マーシャルがプロデュースした、THE GUITARS INC.のアルバム2作のカップリング／24bitデジタルリマスター2016年復刻盤!!! 軽快かつ豊穣なギター・アンサンブルをお楽しみください！ カフェや喫茶店で流れていてほしい一枚！ These two 1958 albums, "Invitation" and "Soft and Subtle" brought together five of Hollywood's finest guitarists - namely Tommy Tedesco, Al Hendrickson, Howard Roberts, Bobby Gibbons, and Bill Pitman - under the direction of Jack Marshall, and with the corporate name The Guitars, Inc. Five talented musicians, each an outstanding soloist in his own right, but all challenged and pleased with the possibilities of the group guitar sound. All five were in constant demand for recordings, radio, television and motion pictures, but they joined forces to combine this unique instrumentation with great musicianship and inventiveness, playing a careful selection of material: the familiar and the obscure, the dreamy and the up-tempo, the swinging and the delicate. You are invited on a voyage of discovery to a new musical realm where taste, subtlety, imagination and charm conspire to bring back the joy of listening to fine music. （Blue Moon） 1.
