"The Poll Winners" Barney Kessel with Shelly Manne & Ray Brown #MottsUnion_JazzFusion #MottsUnion_ChillOut #MottsUnion_AmazingGuitarist #MottsUnion_LegendaryBassist "The Poll Winners" was formed by bringing together the members who won first place in their respective instrument categories in the jazz musician popularity polls of the three magazines "Down Beat," "Metronome," and "Playboy." This recording from 1957 features the three musicians with outstanding technique performing sophisticated and smart performances, typical of the West Coast sound. This album is perfect for those seeking tranquility and healing in jazz. Barney Kessel's superb, melodious guitar is warmly enveloped by the rhythm section of Ray Brown and Shelly Manne, who are also jazz legends. Personally, I think Barney's guitar is close to a human voice, like he's singing. However, I wonder why the last song is titled "Nagasaki"?
