Program Features Then-92-Year-Old Guitarist and Innovator in His Own Words, With Classic Recordings, Archival and Current Performance Footage, Home Movies and More <\/em><\/p>\n

\"Chasing<\/a>
Chasing Sound (IN MEMORIAM 1915-2009)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To mark the passing yesterday of legendary guitarist, inventor and songwriter Les Paul<\/strong>, Nashville Public Television (NPT) will rebroadcast the American Masters<\/a><\/em><\/strong> documentary film, \u201cLes Paul: Chasing Sound\u201d<\/a><\/strong> on Monday, August 17, 2009 at 9:00 p.m. Central Time on NPT-Channel 8<\/strong>. The program will preempt the previously scheduled Objects and Memory<\/em> and BBC World News<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Among inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, his name comes alphabetically after Louis Pasteur. In the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it follows Parliament-Funkadelic. This singular distinction belongs to Les Paul, whose insatiable curiosity and experiments gave us the musical instrument of the modern era \u2014 the solid-body electric guitar \u2014 and the predominant studio recording technique \u2013 multi-tracking. Audacious and indefatigable at every turn \u2014 from small-town Waukesha to Harlem music haunts to Hollywood studios \u2014 Paul, who passed away at the age of 94, was until recently still holding court every Monday night at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York City.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be difficult to overstate Les Paul\u2019s influence on popular music in the 20th century,\u201d said Susan Lacy, creator and executive producer of AMERICAN MASTERS, when the documentary first aired on PBS stations in 2007. \u201cHe pioneered the electric guitar and revolutionized our concept of what recorded music could be. Ironically, his inventions ushered in rock \u2019n\u2019 roll and pushed him out of the spotlight \u2014 but not for long. You just can\u2019t keep Les Paul down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Filmmaker John Paulson said of Paul in 2007, \u201cHis journey has mirrored the evolution of popular music for practically a century. We\u2019ve been able to illustrate that journey with amazing archival television clips, radio broadcasts and interviews with the legend himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLes Paul: Chasing Sound\u201d forgoes a narrator so that Paul\u2019s life story comes across through his own anecdotes. The story begins in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where he was born Lester Polfuss in 1915, and winds through musical meccas of the 20th century. In Chicago during the Depression, he acquired his jazz chops and jammed with piano titan Art Tatum and trumpeter Louis Armstrong. Hitting New York in 1937, his trio wowed Fred Waring and radio audiences coast to coast. And in Hollywood in 1942, he landed one of the most high-profile jobs a guitarist could have \u2014 backing Bing Crosby. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the most perfectly produced records in the history of popular music,\u201d says critic Gary Giddins of \u201cIt\u2019s Been A Long, Long Time,\u201d Crosby\u2019s post-World War II ballad, \u201cand one of the most famous guitar solos.\u201d<\/p>\n

But even more than Paul\u2019s knack for the right riff, his desire to achieve new sounds would drive his career. After experiments as a child in amplifying his guitar\u2019s strings with telephone parts and a phonograph needle, then a railroad track, he eventually arrived at his solid-body prototype: six strings and a pick-up mounted on a four-by-four, with detachable curved sides to make it look more like a standard guitar. After his \u201cbroomstick with a pick-up\u201d finally attracted the interest of the Gibson company, the instrument reached its apotheosis with the late-1950s Gibson Les Paul \u201csunburst\u201d red-orange models. In the hands of such legends as Chuck Berry, Jimmy Page, Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton and Keith Richards, it became rock \u2019n\u2019 roll\u2019s most iconic and enduring instrument.<\/p>\n

\u201cLes Paul: Chasing Sound\u201d also details Paul\u2019s invention of sound-on-sound recording, or \u201coverdubbing,\u201d as revolutionary a development as the solid-body electric guitar. By adding an additional record head to his first tape machine, Paul was able to record his own playing, then go back and dub a second track over the first, ad infinitum. He and his wife, Mary Ford, created the first landmark of this technique with their iridescent \u201cHow High the Moon,\u201d a 10-guitar, 12-voice overdub and a blockbuster hit that influenced a generation.<\/p>\n

Paul and Ford \u2014 better known as simply Les \u2019n\u2019 Mary \u2014 achieved great success together in the 1950s, selling 20 million records, including \u201cTiger Rag,\u201d \u201cVaya Con Dios,\u201d \u201cMockingbird Hill\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m Sitting on Top of the World.\u201d Among the archival clips in \u201cLes Paul: Chasing Sound\u201d is footage of the two at home where they recorded many of these hits on machines Paul built himself. \u201cIt\u2019s a dream to find a partner like I found,\u201d says Paul, reminiscing. Though they eventually separated, and she died in 1977, Paul and Ford are united forever with their shared star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.<\/p>\n

Not long after Paul gave his guitar to rock \u2019n\u2019 roll, the new music\u2019s explosive power made his own efforts seem quaint and he faded from the spotlight. In 1976, however, he triumphantly returned, winning a Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance for Chester & Lester<\/em>, a duet album with fellow guitar virtuoso Chet Atkins. In 2005, two more Grammys followed for both Best Rock and Best Pop Instrumental Performance.<\/p>\n

As he packed his bag for the Iridium each Monday night, Les Paul included hearing aids along with guitar picks. But he still had perfect pitch \u2014 and an insatiable desire for the perfect sound.\n<\/p>\n
