    Oklahoma has produced tr¡¡o of the greatest American lazz Guilarisls, Charlíe
    Christian, who played in theBennyGoodman Band in 1939-4 l and BarneyKessel.
    Kessel was born and raised in Muskogee Okiahoma, and as a 12 year old newspaper
    boy he bought his first guitar for Sl.OO ín the 1930's. His teacher made a point of
    lelling his mother he did not think Barney would make a good guitar player.
    Then at 14 whife listening to Charlie Christian and other Big Band greats he decided
    lhercwere only two destinations for a boy with such serious musical ambitions, either
    New York or Los Angeles. Deciding on Hollywood he went lhere in 1942 and played
    in a movie studio orchestra adding different media as he progressed, clubs, concerts,
    commercial recordings and also as a featured perfotmer. He then went through an
    unbelievably productive period of development in music, includíng 1O months with
    the Oscar Peterson Trio, touring wilhlhelazz at the Philharmonic Ail Stars, recording
    "Cry me a River" withJulie London,-making over 5OO albums with other musicians
    and over 50 albums under his own name.
    Barney decided to break away into the InternationalJazz circuít in 1968 settling in
    Britaín for more than a year.Lalerhe devefoped and conducted seminars all over the
    wodd. The result of these íntense discíplines is that Kessel has become one of the most
    celebrated winnerc of Jazz polls ever and many believe the besl jazz guilarist the music
    world has produced. Though Barney contínues to play with a vast array of lop Jazz

    l1
    Stars he has also developed his teaching skills as intensively as he has mastered his
    guitar, providing his learning audiencewith an analysis of his techniques.
    "Hís steady development over the years now places him at the pinnacle of modern
    guitar artistry. He brings to a standard ballad more harmonic subtleties than the
    composers themselves envísioned." saíd Leonard Feather, Jazz crilic for the Los
    Angeles Times. r
    Adding "Kessel is not oniy as lyrical a guitarist as we have lnlazz today, but he can
    outswing any man in the house." ' . t.
    After years of absorbing an extremely ví§orous program of world lravel, playing jazz
    guitar with the best, and developing unique guítar improvisation teaching methods,
    Barney has now enlered a new phase in his career by communicating his art through
    the media of video.
