Barney Kessel • Let's Cook!

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
This is an excellent session from guitarist Barney Kessel. Kessel is matched with vibraphonist Victor Feldman, pianist Hampton Hawes, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, and drummer Shelly Manne for a blues-with-a-bridge (the 11-minute "Let's Cook"), Vernon Duke's ballad "Time Remembered," and "Just in Time." The second half of the album has modernized versions of "Tiger Rag" and "Jersey Bounce" as played by the guitarist, tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, trombonist Frank Rosolino, pianist Jimmie Rowles, Vinnegar, and Manne. Throughout, Kessel keeps with the other all-stars, swinging hard while paying tribute to the legacy of Charlie Christian.

Esta es una excelente sesión del guitarrista Barney Kessel. Kessel está emparejado con el vibrafonista Victor Feldman, el pianista Hampton Hawes, el bajista Leroy Vinnegar, y el baterista Shelly Manne para un blues-con-un-puente (el de 11 minutos "Let's Cook"), la balada de Vernon Duke "Time Remembered", y "Just in Time". La segunda mitad del álbum contiene versiones modernizadas de "Tiger Rag" y "Jersey Bounce" interpretadas por el guitarrista, el saxofonista tenor Ben Webster, el trombonista Frank Rosolino, el pianista Jimmie Rowles, Vinnegar y Manne. A lo largo de todo el disco, Kessel se mantiene junto a las demás estrellas, bailando con fuerza mientras rinde tributo al legado de Charlie Christian.
