About this artist
As a first-string member of "The Wrecking Crew," Kessel's guitar is heard on just about every LA-based hit from the 60s, including songs by the Monkees and The Beach Boys. And that's Kessel's playing on the famous "fight music" from the Star Trek TV series. He was regarded as the very best of the session guitarists by just about everyone around, and guitarists everywhere site him as an influence.
