On A Slow Boat To China - Barney Kessel

Here's a complete transcription of Barney Kessel's rendition of Frank Loesser's tune "On A Slow Boat To China". This can be found on "Kessel Plays Standards", recorded in 1954 and released by Contemporary Records.

Although Kessel's comping can't be fully heard sometimes, I tried to capture his voicings the best I could and I think it's pretty accurate. The transcription includes his melody, comping, and solo.
