Here’s a clip you’re all going to love. American guitarist Barney Kessel played with everyone from Lester Young to Charlie Parker to Billie Holiday to Art Tatum to Oscar Peterson to Chico Marx. Here he is with then-Vancouver musicians Don Thompson on bass, Terry Clarke on drums and special guest Chris Gage on piano. It’s an ever-so-swinging version of Cole Porter’s Love For Sale. Not sure of the year, but it has to be no later than 1964. Enjoy!
