I was looking at guitars at Sol Betnun Music here in Los Angeles back in the early 70's when I spotted Mr Kessel in the store, I had a chance to meet him. I asked which guitar on the wall is a good versatile guitar to keep, he recommended a Gibson ES 335 hanging on the wall. I'm 74 now and still play and own that ES 335 plus 2 more Heritage H 535's. Barney was very pleasant and just a regular guy. I have a lot of memories of my musical past. Los Angeles Blues musician
The comment wrongly credits for "Manha de Carnaval" Bonfa/Jobim. It's Luiz Bonfa/Antonio Maria BTW, I attended in 69 a concert in Paris, where he played this. He played alongside Kenny Burrell and Grant Green...
this is before the dispute with Gibson; we still see the name on the headstock. He did want to get paid for endorsement; Gibson said no, Kessel then masked the name.

This piece oughta keep just about all of the rest of us who "play" guitar very humble!
It's an astounding level of musicianship..such a pleasure to watch and listen.
One off the best guitarist all time! Genius!
He was such a fine guitarist. So melodic and his time was just impeccable!
His timing also top.
Kessel never repeats himself.
One of the best jazz guitar videos ever.
My favorite jazz guitarist
Beautiful. Melody is always king.
One of the finest clips of him

First guitarist I knew by name playing with Van Alexander. I was about 9 years ago.
Amazing and beautiful. REAL talent.
Fabulous and timeless!
Greatest ever! No one could do that then and no one can do that now.
My favorite jazz guitar player. Everytime I saw him preforming, il was unforgettable
Look at Jan Akkerman. Clear, Barney forever.
@@sommelierramon Jan who ? Wim Overgaauw, maybe. Harry Sacksioni, perhaps. No, just Barn is the one.
Beautiful. Acceeeeeeeeeeeeptableeeeeeeeeeee! *Lemongrab voice*

One of George Bensons favourite Guitar Players
Si beau!
❤️❤️❤️
We are bossa Nova 🇧🇷🎸❤️
Superb!
Benson said Barney loved to tell you he was the greatest player in the world, but he always said it with his guitar.
great!

I wasn't aware of that. Interesting...
the best!
Grande chitarrista
Lo voglio come maestro
toca muito muito bom
The melodic chord part is insane. :-)
Spettacolare con la sua Gibson
Sheeeesh
Fretboard geometry above all the rest
Afinidade Álbum - Bossa Nova - Composer Brazilian Fabio Valente
Enjoy New Generation Bossa Nova too Thanks.
Way to cover up the fingerboard with text
😀😎✌🙏👊
Very well played, syncopated, out of discussion, but also no Bossa Nova (rather Bebop).
weird drums? or is it just me? xDD
He’s playing a samba with a swing feel in the ride cymbal. Doesn’t sound right
Yeah something not fully tight on drums... guy seems to be getting paycheck
The description says "Samba de Orfeu" but this is Black Orpheus. had my hopes up there for a moment. Still a great listen though
This song gets 3 names...
Theme from black orpheus
A day on the life of a fool
And the original "mahna de carnival"
black orpheus is the movie's name, here Kessel plays Manha de carnival then Samba de Orfeu, the song played at the end of the movie by the kids
É samba de orfeu mesmo
