One of my favorite genres – in fact my most favorite jazz genre is bop. Barney Kessel was a bop guitarist who’s career spanned from 1944 to 1992. I love listening to his recordings. Great guitarist.
Among those he played with were:
- Lester Young
- Charlie Christian
- Benny Goodman
- Frank Sinatra
- Judy Garland
- Elvis Presley
- The Beach Boys
- The Monkeys
He was a member of the Wrecking Crew, West Coast studio musicians who backed up many famous performers including some in the above list.
