Barney Kessel Paris 1969 (Live Video)

[@selfwitness]

When he solos, you hear the approach of a piano player. One of the greatest ever. We were blessed to have heard his music.

[@chavruta2000]

so what. who cares. is a piano player's approach better? no. and how is it exactly like a piano player's? He told me personally otherwise.

[@betaeta8620]

1) Fly me to the moon 2) ???? (gypsy in my soul??)???? 3) The look of love 4) Here's that rainy day 5) One note samba (!) 6) a slow low-down blues morphs into a faster bebop blues

[@ber334]

Number two is you stepped out of a dream.. update! I was wrong it is falling in love with love

[@peterrobinson8388]

The second tune is 'Falling in Love with Love'

[@hernansanchez9847]

El tema número 2 por Barney Kessel es "Falling in love with love". También cantada por Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett y otros.

[@kevinkinnu341]

Barney is my favorite jazz guitar player by far

[@Mountain_Storm]

My favourite is herb ellis. What do you think about him?

[@skateborg]

Barney Kessel is legendary.

[@groovinhooves]

With Barney are Larry Ridley (bass) and Don Lamond (drums), who also accompanied Grant Green on the same tour.

[@groovinhooves]

N.B. the second number is Rodgers/Hart "Falling in Love with Love" and not any of the other bad wild guesses suggested below.

[@BrianKlobyGuitar]

Barney pumps out some of the hippest licks on the planet here... thanks for posting! :)

[@SmelOdies]

Yeah, but because he doesn’t do it while standing and/or jumping around people tend to forget the big name rock guitar heroes weren’t as good. And when I say “people,” I mean schmucks like myself!

[@heartpursuer]

I liked Les Paul, a real innovator, but Barney was the best. Big smile on the face of this 80 year old.

[@samkirby3775]

69 was a peak year for Barney

[@MrMjp58]

My absolute favourite jazz guitarist.

[@darrylsmith4044]

Such a beautiful player

[@marcelo_giangrande]

Master !

[@abrigospardos]

Barney Kessel, a guitarist's guitarist! Always amazing!!

[@nakim55]

He rubbed shoulders with Charlie Parker and Charlie Christian when he was young and it shows, no wonder Lenny Breau dig him so much.

[@betaeta8620]

@ 25:14 Barney breaks high e string, didn't even notice before

[@jpaul251]

And he did the right thing, which is keep playing.

[@timbenz4890]

@@jpaul251 Christ, he doesn't even blink!

[@JoeAhmadGuitar]

In a career like his, this probably happens many many times. It shows by how unphased he is

[@davebraun2084]

2. Falling in Love with Love

[@ER-me1ii]

What a great find ! Brilliant !

[@rodcoombes8711]

Barney has big band chops in his great phrasing .Love it.

WTF only 408 likes this man is on fire in this performance, wow!!

[@stevefaure415]

Barney was a universe of his own.

[@edcherry9282]

It's great how barney is able to hold the whole thing together on those uptempo tags when the rhythm section is falling apart and dropping the time all over the place...

[@corvusXXIcentury]

It was amazing when a string was broken and he followed ahead like if anything was occurred.

[@smoovegittar]

Legend. Thanks!

[@ProfessorTime]

Barney was a genius. A 1 in a Million talent.

[@gregfoster5424]

To high of highest thank sir barney Kessel for the buzz you inspired

This guy is unreal!!! Thanks

[@terrencemarble5582]

Absolute mastery!

[@nyobunknown6983]

Kessel was a great Jazz guitarist but he also worked as a studio musician being a part of the famous Wrecking Crew in Los Angeles. Many Jazz Musicians doubled as studio musicians because playing Jazz didn't pay well. Jazz musicians are the best so they do well as studio musicians where you have to be able to play any kind of music and do it quickly. To do that you have to be an excellent reader, have a great ear and be able to improvise on the spot.

Amazing how they start the last tune-the blues in a pretty slow/medium tempo and end up in much faster tempo.I like that, I get annoyed when people are in my case for speeding,it’s worse to slow down.

I attended this concert (Maison de L'ORTF, Paris, 1969). Barney lined with Kenny Burrell and Grant Green) for an unforgettable event. Back then, I was 19. I decided not to think too much to become a pro musician and to stick to my medical college... BTW, Bob, I'm very curious : as a French, I never had the opportunity to access to the concert footage. I know, there was a TV crew on site, but they never aired the concert. Where did you get this gem (high sentimental value to me)...? PS : His cover of "Here's that Rainy Day" is unique (not recorded on any album)

[@RobertAlanHardy]

Hi - I have collected jazz and blues film-video-audio material for over 40 years now, This came from another collector in Italy I think

[@stevenkimsey7039]

Reminds me of the Beverly Hillbillies when Ellie May would go to the cement pond👏

[@tonyperiphoto]

I think that is Stan Levey on drums.

Don Lamond

[@edcherry9282]
