Description

Artist:Barney Kessel |Label: Modern Harmonic MH 8049 | Format: LP |Genre:Jazz | LP condition: Mint | Jacket condition: Sealed

More unearthed tape from a jazz icon! This second volume of Jazz Mill recordings shows Barney firmly at the top of his game. Once again, Kessel and the Jazz Millers (pianist Pete Jolly, drummer Art Kile, and bassist Gene Stoffell) interpret a variety of standards from The Great American Songbook and each arrangement serves to demonstrate the groups superb chops and collective creativity. In Mean to Me, a vintage standard from 1929, a high velocity rendition of Harold Arlens Lets Fall in Love, the riff tune Godchild, and others, Kessel and the Jazz Millers demonstrate superb chops and collective creativity. Thanks to Jack Miller, a young Phoenix audiophile, armed with his Knight-brand recorder, today we can relive and enjoy the artistry of one of jazzs most extraordinary musicians. This is Barney in his salad days when he was topping all the major jazz polls and emerging as one of the most important guitarists of that or any subsequent era.Theblue vinyl features liner notes from noted jazz author Jim Carlton!
