C&A:
Charlie Christian - Lionel Hampton composition:
Shivers
full-score guitar transcription pages (without tablature)
Incidentally:
The intro, theme, plus a dozen
more measures of this version of Shivers was used on the soundtrack of the October 2001 movie “Focus”
starring Wm H Macy and Laura Dern. In a 1944 anti-Semitic Brooklyn
neighborhood, the milquetoast main character, Larry, is going out to water
his overbearing, widowed mother’s lawn as we hear a fade-in of Charlie Christian’s guitar
intro. About 22 minutes into the film, the segment leads to an intensely
poignant moment. Stunningly unexpected and refreshing in a rather somber
plot.
(based on an excellent novel by Arthur Miller)
