This is an unusual set, the only full-length program of unaccompanied guitar solos recorded by
Barney Kessel. Although
Kessel was not as skilled in solo work as
Joe Pass, the music is relaxed, melodic and tasteful. The interpretations are concise and highlighted by "Brazil," "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," and "Alfie," although "People" could have been skipped. ~ Scott Yanow
