THE JAZZ GUITAR OF JOE PUMA

Description:
Joe Puma 1927 2000 was a guitarist of imagination and skill that, despite emerging from New York under the shadow of Tal Farlow and Jimmy Raney, made some excellent recordings as a leader with some great and inventive jazzmensuch as Bill Evans, Eddie Costa, Don Elliott, Oscar Pettiford and Paul Motian. This CD is a swinging, warm set of well thought out sessions, that manage to retain essential spontaneity meaningfully throughout the solos. Puma's approach is tasteful, gentle and unpretentious, and his finely etched, sensitive guitar playing garnered the respect of his fellow musicians and such critical acclaim as the 1957 New Star award for his instrument in the poll conducted by Metronome magazine.
