I saw him once when I was a senior in high school (Fall of 1983). It was in the restroom at the sink. I asked if he was going to play "Satin Doll". His response? "Uhhh...I don't think so, kid." Oh well...it was still a great show. He was soooo cool.

I don't recall which talk show it was or even if he was a regular in that show's band, but I recall Jimmy Dean (the country singer and sausage man) guesting on the show and being excited that he would be able to do a song and have Kessel as part of the band. A well-respected musician and rightly so.

I've always been impressed with Barney's chord sense ever since I first heard him with Julie London on "Cry Me a River." I eventually got to study with Barney way before I was ready, back in the early 60's. Basically he told me "Back to the woodshed and improve your reading and practice your scales..." Now when I listen to Barney I still am in awe of his chord sense but I can't help but notice that his intonation was slightly poor; his guitar is always slightly out of tune, just enough to distract from my enjoyment of his playing. I wish now that I had tried again with him when we were both living in San Diego. Unfortunately I didn't know he was living here until my old friend Johnny Zorro told me that had been here for years but had had a stroke. Barney didn't play anymore but Johnny visited him often up until his death.

@@smilinjack11 I like that Barney's a bit reckless at times and not so perfect, because it makes it interesting. Wish I had met him, seemed like a very personable and kind man based on his teaching videos. You're lucky to have known him and study with him and I guess you did your share of woodshedding, right?

The great Barney. My favourite jazz guitarist. On a slightly different tack, regarding bass; no matter how good the sound and the player, electric bass guitars don’t give the swing or add the depth of a double bass. I’ve seen this at various jazz concerts. Maybe electric double basses could bridge the gap. They seem to have a bit more weight in the sound.

@@bobsaturday4273 I agree Bob. In the early days when I knew Barney, he didn't use that fliberty giberty trick which just sounds sloppy and distracts from his overall sound. Johnny Zorro used to do that same thing. I suspect that Barney may have copied it from Johnny somewhere along the line.
