Guitarist - Charlie Byrd
In the early 1970s, 1973-1974, I performed with several recognized guitarist. These gigs took place at Discount Music Center in Orlando. They were hosted - sponsored by the Gibson Guitar Company. Most of the players were endorsers of their instruments.
Charlie Byrd achieved success with his record Jazz Samba, recorded with Stan Getz. It climbed to number one in the Billboard Pop Albums in 1963. Stan Getz won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Performance of the 1963 tune, Desafinado.
I enjoyed that gig with Charlie Byrd. My Brazilian, (bossa nova and samba influences) at the time was the music by Airto
