Guitarist Barney Kessel built upon the tradition laid down by Charlie Christian, and during the 1940s and '50s he was one of the main exponents of bebop guitar, playing with such artists as Charlie Parker and Oscar Peterson, among others. After more than a decade ensconced in studio work, Kessel returned in the '70s to touring and recording as part of the Great Guitars trio. Kessel always played with tremendous feeling, and he is often cited by younger guitarists as a major influence.
Barney Kessel has also released music as a member of Oscar Peterson Trio, The Wrecking Crew, Lionel Hampton and His All Stars, The Great Guitars, Buddy Bregman and His Orchestra, Barney Kessel Trio, Barney Kessel and His Orchestra, Barney Kessel Plus Big Band, Oscar Peterson Quartet, and The Brothers Candoli Sextet.
