One of the all-time giants of Jazz Guitar. Barney Kessel's single-note and chordal style was unique and his recorded output is substantial. Barney played with almost all of the jazz greats at some point in his career, including Sonny Rollins and Oscar Peterson. Some of my favorite albums are: Julie is her Name with Juile London, any of the pollwinner albums and any of the albums on the Contemporary record label.
