The Hunt is a 1977 jazz album of performances from 1947 by a nonet featuring saxophonists Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray. The title song is referenced in the book On the Road by Jack Kerouac.
"They ate voraciously as Dean, sandwich in hand, stood bowed and jumping before the big phonograph, listening to a wild bop record I had just bought called “The Hunt,” with Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray blowing their tops before a screaming audience that gave the record fantastic frenzied volume."
Jack Kerouac - On The Road Part Two Chapter 1
"To the wild sounds of Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray blowing “The Hunt,” Dean and I played catch with Marylou over the couch."

When I think, "Who the hell is that? It sounds like Charley Christian, but it can't be?" It's always Barney Kessel.
Music to Listen to Red Norvo By Review by Scott Yanow
Although vibraphonist Red Norvo is the leader of this sextet date, clarinetist Bill Smith (who contributed the 20-minute four-movement "Divertimento") often sets the tone for the music. His work has classical elements to it, but the five shorter pieces (by Jack Montrose, Barney Kessel, Lennie Niehaus, Duane Tatro, and Norvo) are much more jazz oriented. Norvo's light-toned sextet (which consists of his vibes, flutist Buddy Collette, clarinetist Bill Smith, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Red Mitchell, and drummer Shelly Manne) was not a regularly working unit, but it sounds well-integrated and tight during the complex, but generally swinging, music.

Found some Barney Kessel 45s. They're like little crackly- sounding rubies. #BarneyKessel
Hampton Hawes - Four!
This lively 1958 release finds Hawes (piano) joined by Barney Kessel (guitar), Shelley Manne (drums), and Red Mitchell (bass).
A combo of swing, blues, bop, standards, all well recorded, re-released by Craft with QRP doing the pressing. Not engineered by RvG (Lester Koenig produced, Roy DuNann engineered) so the piano sounds great. ;-)
