This is the way the music should be played. This is the hard driving swing that should accompany Barney Kessel's music. This is much the way Barney would have played it." —John Clayton, 3-time Grammy-nominated bassist/composer/conductor Selections: Happy All The Time, Laura, Cry Me A River, On a Slow Boat to China, Tenderly, You're The One For Me, Love Is Here To Stay, Swedish Pastry, 64 Bars on Wilshire, Li'l Darlin', Slow Burn
