Barney Kessel Audiovisual Collection Finding Aid (PDF) Title of Collection: Barney Kessel Audiovisual Collection Reference Code: US-MoKcUMS-MSA295 Repository: Marr Sound Archives UMKC Miller Nichols Library 800 E. 51st Street Kansas City, MO 64110 Phone: 816-235-2798 Fax: 816-333-5584 Creator: Kessel, Barney Biographical History: Barney Kessel was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma on October 17, 1923. Kessel picked up the guitar when he was 12 years old. Two years later, he launched his professional career playing with an African American band led by Ellis Ezell. After touring with a territorial band, Kessel joined the Oklahoma A&M band, Hal Price & the Varsitonians. Guitarist Charlie Christian's recordings with the Benny Goodman band greatly influenced young Kessel. While playing with the Varsitonians in Oklahoma City, Kessel met and jammed with Christian. After jamming with Christian for three days, Kessel decided to develop his own distinctive hard swinging style. In 1942, Kessel moved to California where he worked with bands led by Chico Marx, Ben Pollock, Hal McIntyre, Charlie Barnet, Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman. In 1944, he performed in the film short Jammin’ the Blues featuring saxophonist Lester Young and other jazz greats. Kessel, who was the only white musician in the group during that time of racial segregation, was filmed in a shadow to hide his skin color. In 1947, he played with Charlie Parker on the Relaxin’ at Camarillo sessions for the Dial label. In 1951, Kessel joined the pianist Oscar Peterson’s Trio. Kessel toured extensively with Norman Granz’s Jazz at the Philharmonic as a member of the Peterson Trio and as a sideman. In 1953, Kessel formed his own trio and recorded a string of critically acclaimed albums for the Contemporary label. During the 1950s and 1960s, Kessel worked with a group of studio musicians, who later became known as the “Wrecking Crew.” Phil Specter often employed the group for his “wall of sound” recordings. Kessel also played on recordings and movie soundtracks featuring Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, Sonny & Cher and other rock and roll icons. His iconic guitar was featured on Billie Holiday’s Body And Soul (1957) and Julie London’s “Cry Me A River” (1955). Over the years, he appeared as a sideman on hundreds of recordings. University of Missouri – Kansas City Marr Sound Archives During the 1970s and 1980s Kessel teamed up with fellow guitarists Herb Ellis and Charlie Byrd to form the Great Guitars, one of the most successful jazz guitar trios of all time. Their 1970s recordings, including Great Guitars: Straight Tracks (1978) and Great Guitars At The Winery (1980), are milestones in jazz guitar history. He later recorded Spontaneous Combustion (1987) with the Jamaican-born pianist Monty Alexander. Kessel was also a respected music educator. He wrote a regular jazz tuition column in Guitar Player magazine during the 1980s and produced several instruction videos for guitar players. He gave up playing after a major stroke in 1992. Barney Kessel died on May 6, 2004 from complications due to cancer.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links. They are not to be shared or downloaded, and the selections therein are only identified by their numbers from the complete list given below. Chapter I: 0001.
