Week 10 BOC & EOC: Who is Les Paul?

Les Paul had a significant impact on the jazz world. Before he he recorded multi-layered hits for the pop market, Les was a brilliant jazz guitarist. Not being able to read music, he had a magnificent ear and inate sense of structure, composing complete arrangements in his head before setting them to disc or tape. Even in the 40's and 50's in many of Les's pop hits you can hear a jazz sensibility at work. No doubt his brassy style gave critics a bad time, but the gregarious, garrulous Paul didn't much care; he was bent on showing his audiences a good time.   http://goo.gl/doodle/3ML3
