Sound Clip From: "Bullfrog Moan"
    

This second volume of Giants Of The Acoustic Jazz Guitar, traces the line of development that links the first, mainly improvised guitar duets of Eddie Lang (aka Blind Willie Dunn) and Lonnie Johnson, to the slightly later 'through composed' duets of Lang and Carl Kress.  It then continues on to demonstrate how Kress and Dick McDonough advanced this completely orchestrated style.

The last three tracks, typical of McDonough's last recordings, show how he used the 'two guitar' sound - both improvised and written - to heighten the colouration of his own studio ensemble.  The sound Clip is taken from those very first Lang - Johnson duets: their classic "Bullfrog Moan".
