These two1958 albums, “Invitation” and “Soft and Subtle,” brought together five ofHollywood’s finest guitarists—namely Tommy Tedesco, Al Hendrickson, HowardRoberts, Bobby Gibbons, and Bill Pitman—under the direction of Jack Marshall,and with the corporate name The Guitars, Inc. Five talented musicians, each anoutstanding soloist in his own right, but all challenged and pleased with thepossi- bilities of the group guitar sound. All five were in constant demand forrecordings, radio, television and motion pictures, but they joined forces tocombine this unique instrumentation with great musicianship and inventiveness,playing a careful selec- tion of material: the familiar and the obscure, thedreamy and the up-tempo, the swinging and the delicate. You are invited on avoyage of discovery to a new musi- cal realm where taste, subtlety, imaginationand charm conspire to bring back the joy of listening to fine music.
