- Synopsis:
Barney Kessel is a legend in the history of jazz, one of the most original voices in guitar playing to have ever recorded. Leonard Feather called him "as lyrical as a guitarist as we have in jazz...a rhythmical natural who can out swing any man in the house." Nat Hentoff said simply "he's one of the most extraordinary consistent and emotionally huge improvisers of our era." This video captures almost 30 years of rare performances from 1962 to 1991. Barney is seen playing in a trio setting, solo and with his friends, jazz guitarists Herb Ellis and Charlie Byrd. All the performances capture the unique artistry of this great American musician. Andre Previn summed it up best: "Barney has a staggering amount of technique, a healthy respect for the traditional, a ceaseless curiosity for the experimental and an admirable and lovely harmonic sense."
