Charlie Byrd.... best albums ?

Brasilian Soul, duets with Laurindo Almeida, is my favorite.

I would also recommend, "The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd," a 45rpm double which contains two of his best albums, and the sound quality is exceptionally fine.

The Charlie Byrd Direct-to-Disc on Crystal Clear was an audiphile classic back in the 80's. I wouldn't say it's as good as "Guitar Artistry" but definitely worth owning if you can pick one up at a reasonable cost. I just saw a copy on Ebay in NM condition for $10 buy it now. Check it out.

Thanks guys. I will definitely check these out.... Any more ideas ?

A favorite from the old days -

Cal Tjader & Charlie Byrd - Tambu

Just saw this thread, one year later... I've heard them all, and his best by far IMO is "Live at the Village Vanguard." A total classic. Just one of the slowest, mellowest, most relaxing and beautiful albums of all time. Amazing to me how it continues to be overlooked.

Au Courant is relaxing, best of Concord Years. I think he was also in a couple of Great Guitars albums.
