Jazz Guitar Intro 12 - Cry Me a River (Barney Kessel) Cry Me a River was written by Arthur Hamilton in 1953 and became famous through Julie London’s 1955 recording, featuring Barney Kessel on guitar and Ray Leatherwood on double bass. In this intro, I combine Barney Kessel’s guitar part with Leatherwood’s bass line from the original recording, creating a solo guitar version that works on its own. | Jazz Guitar Online - Dirk Laukens
