- Alfie
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
Recorded at Coast Recorders, San Francisco, California in April 1981. Includes liner notes by Frank Dorritie.
Solo performer: Barney Kessel (guitar).

Si tú eres loca mas loco soy yo

Y si tú eres loca, apaga la luz

que tú no va a hacer na, apaga la luz

Плещется рыба и вырос хлопок,
Your daddy is rich and your ma' is good lookin',
Твой папа богат, а мама отлично выглядит,
