Includes the complete October 1980 Berlin concert and four tracks from the album "How Deep, How High" as bonus tracks.
Includes the complete 1965 album: "On fire"
Contains also five bonus tracks from 1969 and 1973 performances featuring, among others, bassist Larry Ridley, drummer Don Lamond and guest stars Kenny Burrell and Grant Green on guitar.
John Lennon says: "Barney Kessel is incredible. He's just amazing ... 'Nobody' can play guitar like that." And George Harrison: "Barney Kessel is definitely the best guitar player in this world, or any other world." This issue offer the first time that Barney Kessel has ever recorded live while playing in a night club. And also is the first time he has ever been recorded "stretching out" and improvising solos without the confines of a recording studio. As a bonus track this CD concludes with an outstanding tune, "Blue Mist," a Kessel's originals, which is the springboard for stunning "conversations" among three guitar giants - Barney Kessel, Kenny Burrell, and Grant Green captured at Ronnie Scott's in London in 1969. A must for collectors.

One of the finest guitarists to emerge after the death of Charlie Christian, Barney Kessel was a reliable bop soloist throughout his career. He played with a big band fronted by Chico Marx (1943), was fortunate enough to appear in the classic jazz short Jammin' the Blues (1944), and then worked with the big bands of Charlie Barnet (1944-1945) and Artie Shaw (1945); he also recorded with Shaw's Gramercy Five. Kessel became a busy studio musician in Los Angeles, but was always in demand for jazz records. He toured with the Oscar Peterson Trio for one year (1952-1953) and then, starting in 1953, led an impressive series of records for Contemporary that lasted until 1961 (including several with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne in a trio accurately called the Poll Winners). After touring Europe with George Wein's Newport All-Stars (1968), Kessel lived in London for a time (1969-1970). In 1973, he began touring and recording with the Great Guitars, a group also including Herb Ellis and Charlie Byrd. A serious stroke in 1992 put Barney Kessel permanently out of action, but many of his records (which include dates for Onyx, Black Lion, Sonet, and Concord, in addition to many of the Contemporaries) are available, along with several video collections put out by Vestapol. Kessel was diagnosed with inoperable cancer in 2001, which eventually took his life in May of 2004. He was 80 years old.
