Great Guitars (band)
Great Guitars was a supergroup formed by jazz guitarists Charlie Byrd, Herb Ellis, and Barney Kessel in 1973.
The trio performed intermittently from 1973 and released several live albums: Great Guitars, Great Guitars 2, Great Guitars at the Winery, Great Guitars: Straight Tracks, Return of the Great Guitars, Great Guitars Concord Jazz. After a stroke ended Kessel's career in 1992, Ron Escheté, Mundell Lowe, Larry Coryell, and Tal Farlow variously joined Byrd and Ellis in later concerts.
