A Barney Kessel lesson in Stockholm...and

[wintermoon]

First part was beautiful....not so sure he was diggin' how the last 1/2 went , but shows how a pro like Mr Kessel handles things.... besides, anything w Barney is worth watching/listening.... cool to keep finding 'new' videos from the legends popping up now and then, thanks to who uploaded this one.

The explanation he gives up front of how to create an improvised chord solo, building up from the melody, was so clearly stated and demonstrated. He has (essentially) summarized his entire improvisation video series in 2 minutes' time (1:15 > 3:30). That was really cool.

A true professional. That Swedish crew would get their tails kicked by our august forum critics.
But Barney, graciously smiled and played rhythm.
That’s for posting WM!

The reactions of the kid sitting next to Barney are golden.
