The Poll Winners
When the 1950s were in full swing, the jazz world was alive with fresh ideas, new voices, and a healthy debate over where the music ought to go. But amidst all the experimentation, the real test of greatness remained the same: could you swing, could you listen, and could you say something worth hearing? On The Poll Winners, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Shelly Manne answered with a resounding yes.
