The Guitars Inc • "Invitation" & "Soft and Subtle" / Guitar players: Tommy Tedesco, Al Hendrickson, Howard Roberts, Bobby Gibbons & Bill Pitman



These two 1958 albums, “Invitation” and “Soft and Subtle,” brought together five of Hollywood’s finest guitarists—namely Tommy Tedesco, Al Hendrickson, Howard Roberts, Bobby Gibbons, and Bill Pitman—under the direction of Jack Marshall, and with the corporate name The Guitars, Inc. Five talented musicians, each an outstanding soloist in his own right, but all challenged and pleased with the possi- bilities of the group guitar sound. All five were in constant demand for recordings, radio, television and motion pictures, but they joined forces to combine this unique instrumentation with great musicianship and inventiveness, playing a careful selec- tion of material: the familiar and the obscure, the dreamy and the up-tempo, the swinging and the delicate. You are invited on a voyage of discovery to a new musi- cal realm where taste, subtlety, imagination and charm conspire to bring back the joy of listening to fine music.

Estos dos álbumes de 1958, "Invitación" y "Suave y sutil", reunieron a cinco de los mejores guitarristas de Hollywood, a saber, Tommy Tedesco, Al Hendrickson, Howard Roberts, Bobby Gibbons y Bill Pitman, bajo la dirección de Jack Marshall, y con el nombre corporativo The Guitars, Inc. Cinco músicos talentosos, cada uno de ellos un destacado solista por derecho propio, pero todos desafiados y complacidos con las posibilidades del grupo de sonido de guitarra. Los cinco estaban en constante demanda de grabaciones, radio, televisión y películas, pero unieron sus fuerzas para combinar esta instrumentación única con una gran musicalidad e inventiva, tocando una cuidadosa selección de material: lo familiar y lo oscuro, lo soñador y lo moderno. Up-tempo, el swing y lo delicado. Te invitamos a un viaje de descubrimiento a un nuevo reino musical donde el gusto, la sutileza, la imaginación y el encanto conspiran para devolverte la alegría de escuchar buena música.
