Barney Kessell & Red Mitchell - Two Way Conversation

[AllanAllen]

I bought this album and ripped the vinyl to youtube. (For the armchair lawyers) it was flagged as copyrighted material, but I'm still allowed to post it on youtube. I don't know how the sausage is made but this doesn't appear to be piracy of out of print and digitally unavailable music.

Anyway, does this link work?

Red Mitchell was an excellent bass player. He also made a duet album with Herb Ellis. Gary Larson (-the creator of the "Far Side" comic strip) drew the cover art.

Hello. The link works and is good to go.

Great! Here's a trio album of Kenny Burrell I also uploaded.

Just my style, another album I'll have to order, as only a few tracks are on youtube.

Thanks!

I like the version of "Killing me softly with his song" It's always good to hear something different than the usual suspects, and the song has a lot of interesting chords.
btw, I have the CD of this and it has two extra alternate takes.

Killing Me Softly is my favorite track on the album, I always forget it's not a Fugees original and I was very surprised when it started. I'm going to add it to my bands rotation, with a few lines taken from this version, like that counter harmony leading tone run Barney does in bar 17 of the head where the lyrics are Killing Me Softly, and the harmonized lick at 1:23

A what original?
The late Roberta Flack of course.
Whippersnapper!

Actually... Roberta Flack recorded it after hearing the Lori Liberman original on an airplane.

Whippersnapped.

Yea, Liberman got screwed!

"Killing Me Softly with His Song" is a song composed by Charles Fox with lyrics by Norman Gimbel. The lyrics were written in collaboration with Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971. Denied writing credit by Fox and Gimbel, Lieberman released her version of the song in 1972; but it did not chart. The song has been covered by many other artists.

Well, glad you're diggin the Kessel lp

I bought the Ellis/Mitchell album soon after it was released, and it's one of my favorites. Not a bad track on it. Herbie could play.

In more ways than one, this is predatory and gross.

Gimbel also began an affairwith the 19-year-old Lieberman, even though he was 43 years old and married.

And he also made a duet with Joe Pass, my favorite Pass' record

As for duo recordings w a guitarist there's this record w Jim Hall too. Been awhile, maybe I'll pull it out and spin it on the table later....
