He was an amazing player and also such a great teacher. His accompaniment to "Cry me a river" to Julie London's beautiful voice will never be equalled or surpassed.

That’s all is hear 😫

Even his supposed "easy to follow" instructional jamming sounds amazing and authentic. Barney was a lot of younger bebop and jazz musicians' favorite.

If you can get ahold of any of the "poll winners" albums with Barney Kessel playing along side Shelly Mann and Ray Brown do yourself a favor and do so. Highly recommended listening!

Isnt this just arpeggio-broken arpeggio of some sort? Not to be ambiguous, but i really like the way he puts those simple way of teaching into a very insightful lesson rather than just complicate things.

Nice to hear he fabulous Dave Young playing with Barney.

@@rumarkvideo I heard Dave backing Gene Bertonncini in a small club in Toronto about ten years ago. Guitar and bass in a small room is perfect. Unfortunately, I wasn’t clued in to jazz guitar when Barney played Toronto, I’m sure he played here. Great video, many thanks for sharing.

Many years ago my music teacher gave me an assortment of cassettes taken from a clinic on creativity by Barney Kessel. At one point Mr. Kessel talks for a while on visualising a cup of coffee. I was too young to understand the object of the exercise, too impatient to just get down and play, to benefit much from the talk, but I wish I still had those tapes. Because today I realize that creativity and having the chops to express that creation, as being the most important aspect of any musical endeavour.

What a cool idea and approach, and so well presented. Thank you for putting this on youtube. Barney is a great teacher and so clear. I'll be doing all the lessons.

Love how he slips in a pure knowledge gem regarding subs (and by association all the possible added pathways for improvisation) at about 11:29. So smooth. Great video of a master.

I'd be like ok I learned this, show me something else lol. I only ever got half as good as my teacher. I'm 50 now and still learning. But these kid prodigies today are nuts.

For sure the present instructors teach how to sight read better. I read about one dude from UK who attended GIT for 2 years. But sadly on return he found that he couldn't play with other good jazz guys because many played by ear only. He was lost as needed the sheet music. ! But things much different now. Young kids 14 years can listen to James Burton licks and pickup quickly. Different world out there. Certainly. Thx.
