I love jazz guitar and know that Kessel is rated as one of the best and so bought this album with high expectations, however, the overall feel of these recordings is of bland 50s West Coast jazz. The music never asserts itself, and even though Kessel's technique can't be faulted, to my ears it's just plain boring - safe, unassuming arrangements of (mostly) standards - something that might have accompanied suburban cocktail parties of the time as background music. If you know what you are getting and like this kind of music then this compilation represents good value for money, but I don't suppose that many modern jazz guitar fans will appreciate it.
