BARNES GEORGE (G)

South Chicago Heights, Illinois. 17/7/1921. – Concord, California. 5/9/1977.

Dal padre, maestro di musica, ha preso lezioni di chitarra e nel 1937 ha diretto il suo primo quartetto in giro per il Middlewest. Nel 1939 è stato assunto alla NBC e poi nel 1942 è andato a Chicago per un ingaggio con Bud Freeman. Insieme a Bucky Pizzarelli ha messo su un ottimo duo di chitarre. La sua attività prevalente è stata in studio; ha inciso con Ernie Royal, Lawson/Haggart, Ruby Braff, Clarence Williams, Joe Venuti con il quale ha prodotto diversi album notevoli. Purtroppo la sua attività è stata troncata da un infarto. Chitarrista che, in un’epoca di free e rock, è rimasto legato alla tradizione swing.
