A small sampling of music by session guitarist par excellence, Tony Mottola (April 18, 1918 - August 9, 2004).
In addition to his long association with Enoch Light and the Command and Project 3 labels, Mottola worked with artists ranging from Raymond Scott to Sinatra... writing, arranging and performing for radio and TV along the way too.
Links to bios at Space Age Pop and Classic Jazz Guitar.
Great interview with Mottola at Spaced Out.
Music on the show mostly sticks to Mottola's solo albums (I've featured records by Enoch Light on past shows... and will most probably do so again in the future).
