.. Kessel Story 1954-1962

Description:

In the 1950s BARNEY KESSEL was acknowledged as the premier Jazz guitarist in the US, routinely voted #1 in Esquire, Downbeat and Playboy magazine polls. Famous for his knowledge of chords, inversions and chord-based melodies, he recorded at least one solo LP per year, plus endless sessions and guest appearances. This compilation is drawn from his seventeen solo albums recorded between 1954 and 1962, largely for the specialist Contemporary label. Two â??bonus cutsâ? are included; Julie Londonâ??s sumptuous â??Cry Me A Riverâ?? from 1955, which is in essence a Barney Kessel guitar master-tutorial with vocal accompaniment, plus his own unlikely R&R hit, â??Honey Rockâ??, which appeared on the flip of Ricky Nelsonâ??s million-selling â??Youâ??re My One And Only Loveâ?? in 1957. Kessel would go on to become one of the leading lights in LAâ??s legendary Wrecking Crew, during the 60s, before resuming his love affair with Jazz in the late 70s. - .. KESSEL STORY 1954-1962
