Our Take
Barney Kessel's "To Swing or Not to Swing" is like a cup of tea on a rainy day – comforting, familiar, and oh-so-British. This album, released back in 1955, is a delightful blend of bebop and swing that will have you tapping your toes and dreaming of a time when jazz ruled the airwaves. Kessel's guitar playing is like a finely brewed cuppa, smooth and full-bodied, with just the right amount of sweetness. His fingers dance across the strings with effortless grace, creating melodies that are both sophisticated and playful. Tracks like "Some Like It Hot" and "Begin the Blues" showcase Kessel's impeccable sense of timing and his penchant for clever improvisation. The album also features some stellar performances from Kessel's bandmates, including the legendary Ray Brown on bass and Shelly Manne on drums. Their chemistry is palpable, with each musician complementing the other in perfect harmony. But what really sets "To Swing or Not to Swing" apart is Kessel's unique ability to infuse every note with his own quirky sense of humour. His playful approach to the music adds an extra layer of depth and charm, making this album a joy to listen to from start to finish. So pour yourself a cup of Earl Grey, sit back, and let Barney Kessel's "To Swing or Not to Swing" take you on a delightful musical journey. You'll be swinging along in no time, old chap!
