How about a little love for Barry Galbraith?

Yea, most people have no idea who he is.  Just check out his credits at allmusic.  He was a working guy but not a frontman kind of guy.  He only did one album as a leader, but played with all the jazz greats in his day.

Here is a really beautiful version of the theme from "The Bad and the Beautiful" movie from 1952. 

Here is one he did with special down-tuning of a lesser known Rogers-Hart song. 

Another good one here is one of the few videos of him.  Jamming with some guys who aren't too shabby themselves like Bill Evans, Doc Severenson, Art Farmer etc.

And hanging at a night club for this documentary.  Killing the comping beautifully behind a singer here.

He plays an early Byrdland guitar mostly.  He was a Stromberg guy early on, and the story goes that when Hank Garland went up to NYC to hang, he hung with Barry who helped him get some cool jazz stuff together into his playing.  Hank really liked his 23.5" scale Stromberg with small neck and took the idea to Gibson and hence the Byrdland was made.  Pretty cool.  Hank's Jazz Winds album is really incredible.
