“Tremolo Study” – Andrés Segovia (1927)

Many jazz guitarists from Eddie Lang to Charlie Byrd were inspired by Spanish guitarist Andrés Segovia, who helped establish the guitar as a solo instrument capable of much more than rhythmic accompaniment.

This beautiful recording was made less than a year before his American performance debut at New York’s Town Hall on January 8, 1928.

Recorded in London on May 20, 1927.
Released as Victrola 6767.
