Born in Philadelphia in 1902 Eddie Lang switched from banjo to guitar in the mid 1920s and virtually wrote the book on how the instrument should be played in Jazz. We will play some early Lang solo recordings, his corner stone recordings with childhood pal JOE VENUTI,  duets with LONNIE JOHNSON , and some of his brilliant accompaniments with pop singers and orchestras of the day . Tunes in!
