Solo isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Jim Jones has compared writing for Barney Kessel’s new album to that on ‘Solo’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. four years ago, Barney Kessel briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?”. Great Jazz right here!
Some call What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life? from Solo as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Happy Little Song - another great track from the Solo album. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Barney Kessel. Barney Kessel must have run out of lyrics on the next track You Are The Sunshine Of My Life. Manha De Carnaval is one of the coolest songs Barney Kessel has ever recorded. Vocals of Barney Kessel in People really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. Jellybeans - arguably the best track on Solo album. Alfie is pretty funky and mellow.
