AlfieThis 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.

Apaga la luzSi tú eres loca mas loco soy yo

vamos a hacerlo apaga la luz
Y si tú eres loca, apaga la luz
y si tú eres sata, apaga la luz
que tú no va a hacer na, apaga la luz

SummertimeSummertime and the living is easy,
Летняя пора, и жизнь стала легче,
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high.
Плещется рыба и вырос хлопок,
Your daddy is rich and your ma' is good lookin',
Твой папа богат, а мама отлично выглядит,
