HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL LAMINATED FLIPBACK COVER “Printed in England by West Brothers . Printers . Limited . Mitchum”
Recorded at sessions in 1957 but not released on the Contemporary label until 1962.
This is an excellent session from guitarist Barney Kessel. Kessel is matched with vibraphonist Victor Feldman, pianist Hampton Hawes, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, and drummer Shelly Manne for a blues-with-a-bridge (the 11-minute "Let's Cook"), Vernon Duke's ballad "Time Remembered," and "Just in Time."
The second half of the album has modernised versions of "Tiger Rag" and "Jersey Bounce" as played by the guitarist, tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, trombonist Frank Rosolino, pianist Jimmie Rowles, Vinnegar, and Manne.
Throughout, Kessel keeps with the other all-stars, swinging hard while paying tribute to the legacy of Charlie Christian.

LABELS: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set of clean, unmarked labels - barely a spindle trace to be seen
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces shine like-new with nothing but a couple of light and harmless brush marks
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Cool LP - sounds great and my play check found nothing to fault bar a couple of one-off ticks but I did not clean the record as it seemed unnecessary so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins - lovely copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The thin cover is crisp, clean and practically like-new with nothing but a little age-toning to the white back
