Although guitarist Andrew Scott's CD is in tribute to Barney Kessel and he performs "Barney's Rag" (Kessel's take on "Tiger Rag"), Scott has his own sound and style within the genre of straight-ahead jazz. With tenor saxophonist Harry Allen, who is in top form as his co-star, Scott plays a heated date of bebop that is highlighted by one of the hottest-ever versions of "This Could Be the Start of Something Big," "I Concentrate on You," "Barney's Rag" and "Blues for Sonny." The latter starts out with a transcription of a Charlie Christian solo, played in unison by Scott and Allen. Trumpeter Jake Wilkinson makes the group a quintet on "Barney's Rag" and is showcased on "If I Should Lose You." The closing medley is played by Andrew Scott on unaccompanied solo guitar. Every selection on this set is successful and enjoyable, showing that when straight-ahead jazz is played with enthusiasm, high musicianship and subtle creativity, bebop definitely lives.
