The Barney Kessel Quartet: Barney Kessel (guitar); Marvin Jenkins, Jerry Good, Stan Popper. Recorded in January 1961. Personnel: Barney Kessel (guitar); Marvin Jenkins (flute, piano); Stan Popper (drums). Audio Remasterer: Joe Tarantino. Liner Note Author: Leonard Feather. Recording information: Contemporary Records' Studio, LA, CA (09/09/1961-09/10/1961). Photographer: William Claxton. Unknown Contributor Roles: Stan Popper; Jerry Good. Arranger: Barney Kessel. For this lesser-known effort by Barney Kessel (reissued on a 1998 CD), the guitarist is heard shortly after he decided to forego his career in the studios and try to make a living playing jazz full-time. He formed a quartet that also included three now-obscure players: Marvin Jenkins on piano and occasional flute, bassist Jerry Good, and drummer Stan Popper. Kessel plays well during a program that is highlighted by Jenkins' "Good Li'l Man," "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," Ahmad Jamal's "New Rhumba," and the guitarist's own "Pedal Point." Nothing all that unusual occurs, but the music is fine modern mainstream jazz from the early '60s. ~ Scott Yanow
