Three of the all time greatest jazz guitarists perform their unique
skills on the guitar:
Barney Kessel, born in Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA on October 17, 1923 was
known for his chord-based melodies and was a prolific member of the
so-called ‘Wrecking Crew’ group of musicians that accompanied and played
on records as diverse as The Mamas & Papas, Sonny & Cher and
The Beach Boys.
He was voted best guitarist in Down Beat Magazine in 1956, 1957 and 1958
and recorded numerous albums. The Gibson Guitar Corporation introduced
the Barney Kessel model guitar in 1961 to honour his skills. Barney
died on May 6, 2004.
Herb Ellis was an American guitarist who probably was best known as
member of Oscar Peterson’s Trio in the 1950’s. He was born on August 4,
1921 as Mitchell Herbert Ellis. He played with Jimmy Dorsey’s band and
played on numerous Verve records supporting jazz giants like Ben
Webster, Stan Getz, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. Herb died on
March 20, 2010.
Charlie Byrd was one of America’s greatest guitarists. Born on September
16, 1925 in Suffolk, Virginia, he was strongly influenced by Django
Reinhardt’s style and Brazilian bossa nova.

Samba’ with Stan Getz. Also he recorded the famous bossa nova albums
with João Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Byrd died on December 2,
