EDDIE LANG: JAZZ GUITAR PIONEER

AMERICAN GROOVES RADIO HOUR hosted by JOE LAURO

Salvadore Massaro was born in Philadelphia in 1902 -picking up the banjo in the early 1920s by the early 1930s' he became the most sought after recording guitarist - both for jazz and offering accompaniments to a slew of pop and blues singers alike - it all ended to fast- by 1933 he was gone, the victim of a botched tonsillectomy! But he left behind hundreds of fine recordings - we will play some highlights!
