The sale also offers a classical selection of violins, cellos and bows, leading with a 1687 violin by Andrea Guarneri. Gibson Incorporated, a solid-body electric guitar, Les Paul Model, 1959 Guitars In the history of American guitars, not a more desirable solid-body electric guitar exists than the Les Paul Model made by the Gibson Company between the years of 1952 to 1960. This period of guitar making revolutionized the future of rock and roll and this sale offers three opportunities for collectors to own some of these collecting legends. From the first year of its production, and therefore with no serial number, the 1952 Les Paul has all the hallmark qualities, with its mahogany body, a single cut-away, and laminated maple top finished in gold colored lacquer (estimate: $8,000- 12,000). A similar and later model from 1954, now exhibiting the stud tail piece-bridge is also offered (estimate: $7,000-9,000). The 1959 Les Paul Standard represents the pinnacle design made within this golden guitar period — with its cherry red sunburst maple design, a.k.a.

At every gig Freddy would announce it was his birthday, which, at 89 years old, every day you’d want to celebrate as such! He’d also let everyone know he was playing the ‘safe sax’... really a description of his mellow tone inspired by his heroes such as Dexter Gordon and Coleman Hawkins. Musicians would regularly pop in and Freddy enthusiastically welcomed them to sit in. It might be one of the Marsalis brothers one night or Bono from U2 another C night. In the early ‘80s, Jaco Pastorius sat in for a legendary set. But it was also always O U a delight to hear a young high school or college musician cutting his teeth and then R T see Freddy spending his break encouraging them. E S T Freddy grew up in Denver but, like many other hometown jazz musicians across Y America, did move away to ‘the big city’ early in his career to pursue more opportunity. O F In his case, he moved to Los Angeles and for a while had some success with the West A Coast jazz scene. Denver was lucky to have him back in town. Freddy was a jazz icon N D in Denver. No, he was never featured in DownBeat and he didn’t play the big jazz R E festivals, but his legacy will be just as important: one of the many hometown jazz W musicians who perform throughout America, jazz evangelists keeping this great art H U form alive and accessible to Americans everywhere.

  • Abba. a Principios De Los Años Setenta, Cuatro Suecos Llamados Anni-Frid
    ABBA Abba. A principios de los años setenta, cuatro suecos llamados Anni-Frid, Agnetha, Bjorn y Benny formaron uno de los grupos de más éxito de los setenta y principios de los ochenta. Bautizaron el grupo jugando con las iniciales de sus cuatro integrantes. El resultado: ABBA. El salto a la fama de Abba ocurrió en 1974, cuando ganaron el festival de Eurovisión, en su mejor edición, con la canción Waterloo. A partir de ese momento, todos sus discos se situaron en las listas de los más vendidos en toda Europa. El álbum completo de 'Waterloo' incluye temas de muy diversos estilos, intentando descubrir aquellos que más podían agradar al público. En su siguiente disco, 'Arrival', Abba muestra ya su propio estilo de música, que se vio continuado en 'Abba', en el que se incluyen algunos de sus temas de mayor éxito, como 'Mamma mia', 'I do, I do, I do' y 'S.O.S.'. Tras varios discos de éxitos y en pleno apogeo triunfal por Europa, Abba decide conquistar el mercado norteamericano. Para ello diseñan un nuevo disco, 'Voulez-Vous', con ritmos totalmente discotequeros. El resultado es un sonoro fracaso, ya que no consiguieron despertar de su indiferencia al público americano. Los componentes de Abba formaban dos parejas sentimentales. Por un lado, Bjorn y Agnetha y por otro Anni-Frid y Benny. A finales de 1978, Bjorn y Agnetha anunciaron su ruptura sentimental, lo que repercutió seriamente en las relaciones entre los miembros de Abba, lo que motivó el inicio del declive del grupo. Posteriormente, en 1980 la otra pareja de Abba también se divorció, y esta vez sí que la situación fue insostenible como para mantener en pie un grupo en el que es imprescindible la armonía entre sus integrantes.
