Barney Kessel - Barney Kessel

Review by Matt Rickman

Barney Kessel's self-titled album is a masterpiece of jazz guitar. Released in 1958, the album showcases Kessel's virtuosity and versatility as a musician. The album features a mix of original compositions and standards, all of which are performed with impeccable skill and style.

Kessel's playing is smooth and melodic, with a clear sense of phrasing and dynamics. His solos are inventive and expressive, with a wide range of tonal colors and textures. He is equally adept at playing fast, intricate lines and slow, soulful ballads.

The album's standout tracks include "Jordu," a bebop classic with a catchy melody and intricate changes, and "Stairway to the Stars," a beautiful ballad that showcases Kessel's sensitive side. The album also features a swinging rendition of "On a Clear Day," a popular tune from the musical "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever."
