The bass player is definitely not swiss! He's british, he's my dad! Alive and kicking and still playing today, Jim Richardson. Great player , thanks for posting the video.
Bass player? Jim Richardson. Barney was a great friend. I have letters from him that I was looking at yesterday. A lovely guy and a great talent. RIP Barney. xxx
vecernicek2 Maybe it’s because I’m too young (I’m 23), but I’ve just heard of Barney Kessel for the first time. But I mean I know Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, George Benson, Joe Pass, Russell Malone, Kurt Rosenwinkel... 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!
same here , once at a smaller subtle gig and again later in an auditorium front seat when Barney played with the great guitars , Herb Ellis and Charlie Byrd , that was a night to remember too
@@gregmccurry5619 in his genre maybe but I seriously doubt that even Buddy Guy would say he is a better guitar player than Barney Kessel. Not to mention that nobody that knows guitar would say it
@@Jazzboful you may be right Stan I,m not much of a jazz guy I did get in to the Berle school of music though.srv brought many players into jazz via grant green and Kenny burrel other then George benson, lee ritnour,larry Carlton or mike stern I do not any jazz guitarist has made up to 300 million dollers like George Harrison,tom petter Bruce Springsteen. I just know one chord melody song "Misty.
I've always loved Barney's playing ever since I first saw him on TV way back in 1974. As a fifteen yr old beginner on the guitar he really blew my mind (and still does). Truly one of the all-time great jazz guitarists. For my money no guitarist swings quite like Barney Kessel. Many thanks for posting.
i had never even heard of this guy, i just happened on the the upload. he is easily one of the greatest jazz guitarists in history. amazing stuff. beautiful, deep chords.
this is the definitive guitar version of Autumn Leaves , you got lucky getting his best right off the start , he backed everybody from Billy Holiday to Charlie Parker and as one of the Wrecking Crew he played a lot of studio behind the scenes so you heard him a lot , just didn't know it , some of the greatest session guitar for the greatest hits and even jazz tracks on tv shows like Beverly Hillbillies
Barney had such wonderful phrasing on his solo lines. As if it wasn't enough to be a genius of chord solo and harmony, he pulls out the most naturally cool articulation on his rhythmic lines.
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. :)
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.
So smooth and easy flow cruisin', goin' down like silky satin. Energized refreshment! Ridiculously complex! Healing to ears and soul. Thanks, Barney et al :)
I’ve just gotten back to guitar after not playing for 5 years (I just had my first lesson last week) and Barney Kessel is one of my musical heroes. One of my goals is to learn how to play jazz guitar just like him!
i remember as a kid, going to my guitar lesson at wallich's music city on sunset & vine, & i wonder who was going to drop in next. one saturday it was Barney & quickly taught me a simple 'jazz' redition of 'don't let the sun catch you crying', though i play uke now, i never forgot that arrangement. i'd see him come & go frequently. the best!
“ 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....
Just three days ago I attended a concert -- CB100 -- dedicated to the 100th birthday of Chet Atkins, and to Barney Kessel. The two guitarists, Pat Bergeson and Bruce Forman, played instruments belonging to the two honorees. The one that Barney is playing is not the one that Bruce played, but okay. I love Barney's contrary motion at 0:23, among several other highlights. Thanks for posting.
Barney Kessel (Muskogee, Oklahoma, 17 de octubre de 1923 - San Diego, 06 de mayo de 2004) fue un guitarrista de jazz estadounidense. Fue miembro de muchos grupos importantes de jazz, así como una "primera opción" en sesiones de estudios de grabación, películas y grabaciones para la televisión. Kessel fue miembro del grupo de músicos de sesión conocido como The Wrecking Crew.
Everyone knows Barney Kessel provided jazz soundtracks to Perry Mason TV Show, and other spy shows. He was the hippest, smoothest bebop jazz guitarist around.
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.
Just fantastic! Barney was great. That's not NHOP (unless he lost his hair and then grew it back). Notice Barney does the now famous sweep picking that a lot of rockers think they invented. Barney has it all together--counterpoint, bass and changes, great voice leading, chops, etc. Just smashing--love it! Thanks for posting this.
@Steven Bernie Bernstein seems like all top musicians are in the jazz world always were. When I saw Dave Brubeck, he was dressed well and played even better. Shame I don't see many new Jazz greats emerging any time soon.
@@user-lg4zm5nj8t there's a history to that. Just imagine in the late 1800s and early 1900s the inventors of this music guys like WC handy Lewis Armstrong Scott Joplin Sidney bechet if they got out of line there could be some serious trouble and if they dress funny or sounded too educated the United States was not very tolerant back then not that they are now but you can see the reason why the whole dressing up thing came to be
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!
Recuerdo cuando Barney Kessel estubo en Asuncion, Paraguay. en el año 1980, en el Centro Cultural Paraguayo Americano, y Carla Fabri Anunciaba por radio su presentacion. Que años y momentos maravillosos vivi.
Check out his video guitar course lessons. Look like they were from the '50's or early '60's. He teaches more in a couple of minutes than many teachers do in years.
True - Barney at the top of his game (Downbeat poll winner etc.) accepted then unknown Teenager Phil Spector as a guitar student and also suggested he should try music production because that's where the money was. A few years later a then rich and famous Phil Spector would routinely hire Barney to play guitar alongside 4 other guitarists in his legendary "Wall Of Sound" productions including on the recording of "Da Do Ron Ron".
I was fortunate to see Barney a few years before he passed at a restaurant near San Diego. He played solo and sounded great. Such a warm and soulful tone! Truly one of the great jazz guitarists. He was also a fine studio musician. I'm a fingerstyle player and it blows me away how well he can play solo with a pick!
Susan462 asked who the bass player was - well it is Jim (Jimbo) Richardson who played in my trio in the 1980s - a fine player with a wicked sense of humour !
The bass player is definitely not swiss! He's british, he's my dad! Alive and kicking and still playing today, Jim Richardson. Great player , thanks for posting the video.
Your dads a wonderful player!
Internet is crazy ! :) Thanks for the comment
Wow. So glad n proud of him
Your dad’s playing is 🔥
Great player…, as good as Eddie G
Bass player? Jim Richardson.
Barney was a great friend.
I have letters from him that I was looking at yesterday.
A lovely guy and a great talent.
RIP Barney.

One of the most underrated jazz guitarists of the late 20th century
+Liam Cooper WTF underrated? Don't get me wrong, I like Barney, but he's famous as hell, everybody knows him, why is he supposed to be underrated?
huh ? you been smokin that whacky tobacky ?
Liam Cooper ...underrated by whom, exactly?
Liam gallagher

Barney always looks as if he woke up with a hangover and rolled outta bed onto a stool and just started jammin. Amazingly talented player.
I think he always looks like the crazy professor taking a break from his experiments to unwind with a little kitchen session.
Love his approach to changing guitar strings - wait until they break. Check out the G string. It's the new one. 😀
How is getting a hangover talented 😂
I did not know that..thanks@@Flavum
@@TaztekStudioshe just looks like that is what the guy is saying. He is talented alone while looking like he had a hangover
Smooth and understated as Barney plays it never sounds mechanical, he's always got just that little bit of a ragged edge to him. Beautiful player--
I agree it’s the Jazz difference like Bream and Williams

I saw Mr. Kessel play in the early 70's and he swung like crazy. His command of the guitar is unsurpassed.
same here , once at a smaller subtle gig and again later in an auditorium front seat when Barney played with the great guitars , Herb Ellis and Charlie Byrd , that was a night to remember too
I saw him in Stockport

This is relaxing beyond belief, I wish I could hear it in person

I know BK is an incredible guitarist, but couldn't help be impressed by the bass player. The best I've ever heard.
He has an amazing sound and technique. Is it NHOP? Sounds like him but doesn't fully look like him.
my guess on bass is :
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Holland
Definitely not Holland, or NHOP.
@@Throatsinger of course...not even close to those guys ! (And I'm being nice ! )
Great tone ,Great phrasing .One of the best EVER Barney Kessel .He played from the heart !!!
I was lucky enough to see Barney with Herb Ellis in Chicago back in the 70's. Been trying to play like that every since.
I loved the guy and still have cards and letters from him.
RIP Barney.
Barry Watson how did u know him was u a cat yourself

Still waiting.
HELLO JAYLIN!!! it has been 4 years since you wrote this comment. can you play the song at all? why don't you upload a video of yourself playing?
Guys he dead, song was hard af
@@basti_marr lmaooo
Darbo Sound heya how’d it go?
Such a warm and comforting sound. This is a fine example of organizing music
Incredible Barney, one the top 5 GOATS🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌎🌎🌎💥💥💥⚡️
Lenny Breau, Joe Pass, Bireli Lagrene, and Ted Greene as the other 4, perhaps?
thank you DILLA for introducing me to this talented great man
Fantastic. I love Barney’s phrasing and tone.
I wish more drummers would play in this understated way, especially the rock variety.
“ confession is good for the soul” so here goes everybody ....

barney's definitive version really captures the mood and context of the tune
a superb and articulated musician
LOVE this version!
Barney was great. He is even more impressive seen in person while he performed, as in this video.
excellent!
What a fantastic accord play 2.55-3.15...
Barney is my favorite among jazz guitarists...
From 3:08 to 3:12 is like "take that, Les Paul! I don't need your sound on sound thingy!"
Just three days ago I attended a concert -- CB100 -- dedicated to the 100th birthday of Chet Atkins, and to Barney Kessel.

Those Pre-rock cats played the guitar with such musicality, the harmonic ability was astounding!
Yep!!
110 % agreed
Barney is one of greats jazz guitarrist !!!!!
Excellent! The master at his best. One of my favs with Kenny Burrell.

Thank for postin' this video : Barney Kessel was the father of all modern guitarists, together with Charlie Chrisian.
Niewyobrażalne. Dziękuję bardzo. ❤
Gotta love the old-school jazz bends that Barney pulled off and got away with xD
Thanks for the vid!
awesome channel..fantastic jazz
On of my favourite guitar players ever.

Played this to death the day I purchased the L.P. Still amazing.
Jim Richardson,bass,Tony Mann,drums
Thank you!!
esta versión captura el sentimiento original gracias
Un grande maestro della chitarra jazz mondiale. Barney Kessel nel mio cuore !!!!
Very reminiscent of his treatment of the song, "Laura". Well done!
Brilliant playing! Thanks!
Wonderful, thanks for posting
Thanks for posting. One of my favourite jazz guitar players.
What can say? Outstanding!
Can't stop listening to him. I'm on step 2 of the guitar ladder. He's on 100.
same thoughts
Kevin Webb I see Barney play and I don't even feel like I'm ON the ladder! XD
Hey, thanks for straightening out NHOP's country of origin. Glad to have it right.
Excellent!! I now understand why Steve Howe admired and was inspired by him.
There is Barney and what a band!
Quite a treat!!
I always remember the great Jimmy Smith be sure !
Thanks
3:16 Guy's never smoked weed in his life.
LMAO!!
@Boxcarcifer you should seek professional help

Very nice and relaxing video
Good post, thanks.
I know the DVD - It's has got material on it from the same concert as this clip - but not this number!!
Barney Kessel...Great Guitarist...Great Arranger...Great Career...and a Great Guy.
Beautiful
Amazing intro, then what an awesome sound from a 3-piece band
Meraviglioso!
Barney realmente goza , disfruta de cada nota
Superb!!!
Thank you for putting this up

He was a master
Joe Pass is truly amazing to the point that we hardly describe how amazing he is
2:21
blues & jazz in perfect harmonie, nice !!!
Yes...nice playing from all...vintage Sonors to boot! :)
Simply, best Autumn Leaves ever
The version and the arrangement of autumn leaves in the studio for his record is much much better
'70. Huh. I think that's about when I saw the Great Guiitars at Sandy's Jazz Revival in Beverly, Mass.
Fantastic
Yes indeed! - And you can hear Barney's influence very clearly in 'Da Do Ron Ron'.
I was fortunate to see Barney a few years before he passed at a restaurant near San Diego. He played solo and sounded great. Such a warm and soulful tone! Truly one of the great jazz guitarists. He was also a fine studio musician. I'm a fingerstyle player and it blows me away how well he can play solo with a pick!
Great stuff!
Thank you for posting this video !!!
Bass player is Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, who also played with Kessel in the Oscar Peterson Trio.
Nope
Susan462 asked who the bass player was - well it is Jim (Jimbo) Richardson who played in my trio in the 1980s - a fine player with a wicked sense of humour !
Awesome!
theis song is tough, i also love blue soul from this album,
Master! (Y)
Sheer beauty !
