Music careerKress started on piano before picking up the banjo. Beginning in 1926, he played guitar during his brief time as a member of Paul Whiteman's orchestra. For most of his career, he was a studio musician and sideman buried in large orchestras, and his name was little known. His work in the 1920s and 1930s included sessions with The Boswell Sisters, The Dorsey Brothers, Bix Beiderbecke, Hoagy Carmichael, Miff Mole, Red Nichols, Adrian Rollini, and Frankie Trumbauer.[1] Outside of orchestras, Kress played in several guitar duets with Eddie Lang (1932), Dick McDonough (1934, 1937), Tony Mottola (1941), and George Barnes (1961–1965). In 1938 and 1939 he made some solo recordings, the songs "Peg Leg Shuffle", "Helena", "Love Song", "Sutton Mutton", and "Afterthoughts". During the 1940s, he played Dixieland jazz with Bobby Hackett, Pee Wee Russell, and Muggsy Spanier.[1] Kress was married to Helen Carroll, a native of Bloomington, Indiana, who moved to New York City to become a singer. She was a member of the Satisifiers and sang with Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, and Jo Stafford. Carl and Helen Kress lived in Manhasset, New York.[2] Carl Kress died of a heart attack in 1965 while he was on tour in Reno, Nevada.[1] TechniqueLike many early jazz guitarists, Kress played on the banjo before switching to guitar. The tenor banjo tunes its consecutive strings in intervals of fifths, C-G-D-A, and Kress adapted this all-fifths tuning for his guitar B{{music|flat}}-F-C-G-D-A,[3][4][5] although he down-tuned the A-string an octave.[4] Before switching to fifths tuning, Kress had used other tunings on the banjo and tenor guitar.[5] His fifths-tuning gave Kress's playing "fuller chords and baselines", according to {{harvtxt|Lieberson|1996|p=42}}. When Kress's duets with Dick McDonough were published, they were transposed from his fifths tuning to standard tuning.[6] All-fifths tuning is used by other instruments besides tenor banjos. For example, it is used by mandolins, violins, mandolas, violas, mandocellos, and cellos.[7] Discography
