This is another of those "Must-Have" albums for Jazz Guitarists and Jazz Guitar enthusiasts alike!  George Barnes was one of a kind, a totally unique musician who - apart from acquiring complete mastery over his chosen instrument - developed outstanding arranging skills.

Blessed with an 'ear for colour' (that is still very rare among jazz guitarists) he created one of the most outstanding ensembles in the whole of recorded jazz: The George Barnes Octet.

This fabulous Cumquat release features no less than twenty seven charts which will open your ears to a whole new listening experience!

Testimonials:-

Well Bruce, I'm almost speechless after listening to this fabulous compilation of George Barnes and indeed rare recordings. I can only tell you that the first time I played these examples of G. Barnes masterful guitar genius, a chill went up my spine and goose bumps I haven't felt in years. This cat does it all, he's a clarinet, a trumpet, a brass section, he must have invented the applied musical term "embellishment", My ears detect a least 50 variations of how this Master of the Fretboard can interpret a single note. George Barnes "keepin Out Of Mischief" is simply nothing short of a Classic Example of "How The Guitar Can Be Played" and elevated to a higher level in the hands of True Master. Many Thanks Again Bruce for gracing our ears with music with class.
