Guitarist Barney Kessel's string of recordings for Contemporary in the 1950s included some of the finest work of his career. The unusual repertoire on this set -- which includes "Louisiana," "Indiana," and "12th Street Rag," along with four Kessel originals and more usual standards -- would by itself make this bop/cool set noteworthy. Add to that a very interesting lineup of players (trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, Georgie Auld or Bill Perkins on tenor, pianist Jimmy Rowles, the rhythm guitar of Al Hendrickson, bassist Red Mitchell, and Shelly Manne or Irv Cottler on drums) and some excellent showcases for Kessel, and the overall result is a recording highly recommended to fans of straight-ahead jazz.

La serie de grabaciones del guitarrista Barney Kessel para Contemporary en los años 50 incluyó algunos de los mejores trabajos de su carrera. El inusual repertorio de este set - que incluye "Louisiana", "Indiana" y "12th Street Rag", junto con cuatro originales de Kessel y los estándares más habituales - haría por sí mismo que este set de bop/cool fuera digno de mención. Si a esto le añadimos una alineación muy interesante de músicos (el trompetista Harry "Sweets" Edison, Georgie Auld o Bill Perkins en el tenor, el pianista Jimmy Rowles, la guitarra rítmica de Al Hendrickson, el bajista Red Mitchell, y Shelly Manne o Irv Cottler en la batería) y algunos excelentes escaparates para Kessel, el resultado general es una grabación muy recomendada para los fans del jazz directo.
