| Can you tell the difference between a $200 and a $200,000 guitar? An accomplished musician with a "cheap" instrument will hold your attention over a poser with an expensive one. | |
| Jazz Recording Sessions Engineered by Roy DuNann Looks like discogs comes thru And it looks like I have a couple of these fine sounding recordings. I'm a big Barney Kessel fan. Easier to find, and almost Sonically equal are the Fantasy reissues from the 70's. https://www.discogs.com/artist... | |
