Barney Kessel is less famous than those guys, it seems to me.

I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Barney up close at a club in DC many years ago. He stretched the swing and early bebop of Charlie Christian into new dimensions that led to fusion and other stuff. His use of extended chords and "outside" harmonies was brilliant. In this take, he comes out of the bass solo quoting "Fly Me To The Moon" and expanding on that phrase, one I've always liked to use in my own amateur approaches to Autumn Leaves. Viva Barney!

I used to correspond with Barney via snail mail back in the 80's when he lived on Bedford Drive in Oklahoma City. I was writing for some guitar magazines and other music publications. Jazz & Western Swing guitarist Benny Garcia lived there at the time and he gave me Barney's contact info. Barney was kind enough to write me and very helpful with my questions. Later he moved to San Diego and I heard he was going thru a lot of health problems. I lost contact with him but I knew his stepson Mickey Rooney Jr. :)

“ confession is good for the soul” so here goes everybody .... I’m 56. Been playing since 11. Always listened to Hendrix. Some Johnny winter, Albert Collins, Son Seals. Muddy Waters with Johnny Winter. Big blues fan. Saw SRV 4 times. Always played my tapes of Hendrix all the time around the house. Then (1980’s) my Mom would say “ why do you have to listen to that loud, ugly sounding Jimi Hendrix??!” “ Why can’t you play something NICE, like BARNEY KESSEL ??? !!!!!” Well, I couldn’t. “ it was too slow “ for me at the time. “ Too boring. Too slow to develop “ I also liked Ted Nugent, Judas Priest. Loved and still love’80’s hair metal. And Eddie Van Halen’s chord changes and fills knock me out. Still. But around 2006/ 2010 a buddy turned me on to Kenny Burrell. He was like Goldielocks and the 3 bears: not too hot and not too cold- just right. So time goes on. My Mom and Dad both pass. The dog I had passes. I break up with the girlfriend I had whom I thought we were going to get married. A lot of things happened to me. I started to like melodic solos more. I had more of an appreciation for them. So recently I’ve been working on “ Close to You “ ( Burt Bacharach) and was thinking of a chordal approach to the melody, instead of single notes. And I thought today “ Oh .....! Now I know what my Mom was talking about ! ( 1980’s. 35 years ago). Talking about Barney Kessel. Wow. All these years later. All that water under the bridge. And now I finally have an appreciation....

The bass player is Englishman Jim Richardson. I knew Barney's UK agent who around this time asked me to house Barney's UK amplifier in my B&B in Dover whilst Barney toured Continental Europe (which had an incompatible electrical system in those days). Barney came to collect it on his return to the UK and I had the pleasure of chatting with him and Jim Richardson over a cup of tea in the living room. I heard him play two nights later at the University of Kent in Canterbury. A very great player.

I was watching an episode of Mannix awhile back, and this particular episode had a jazz singer performing in a nightclub, and I'm pretty sure Barney was the guitarist in her backup band. I wasn't positive, but it certainly LOOKED like him. But if he was doing a lot of TV music at the time, it makes sense that someone would say "We need a guitarist on screen for this bit, let's get Barney", since he was doing a lot of work for them anyway.

As much as I like his instrumental work it's his skills accompanying Billie Holiday in their 1958 sessions that have left their greatest impression with me and his chordal oriented solo on 'I didn't know what time it was' epitomises the point I'm making:-simple, understated and yet somehow unspeakably beautiful. Man, I love Django, Wes, Charlie and all but I'm not sure that Barney isn't the guitarist I'd like to be reincarnated as. Such an incredible all-rounder!
