Movie Reviews of Barney Kessel Rare Performances 1962-1991
Movie Review: Great Player, Quality footage, the playing isn't always up to Kessel Standard
Summary: 2 Stars
And by that standard I'm referring to the poll winners discs. Some of the stuff on here is downright horrible, for example in Seven Come Eleven he nearly stops playing (it was way too fast and he just wasn't keeping up) and his rhythm chops are pretty sloppy at various points throughout. Maybe I just wasn't feeling it tonight, usually I don't write bad reviews, but from what I know of Barney Kessel I would say this isn't his prime stuff.
Still, I agree with the other reviewer who said there isnt much else available and thus would have to recommend this to fans of his. I'll say there is some really nice playing in the beginning and he does a stunning version of Heres That Rainy Day, so its a mixed bag. Definitily get it for yourself if you want (the interviews are nice historical documents too) but I wouldn't use this DVD to try and turn on a fan who doesn't already like him. Not that thats the definition of a good music DVD, but I can only give this two stars because of how many times I thought to myself "wow, he really sounds rusty".
Great player, musician, I do appreciate having the footage but his legacy deserves so much more than this!
