Jazz / Bop
Recorded in 1966/1967
Kenny Burrell - Guitar
Phil Woods - Alto, Clarinet
Mike Mainieri - Vibraphone
Richard Wyands - Piano
Ron Carter - Bass
Grady Tate - Drums
Guitarist Kenny Burrell interprets eight swing standards associated with the Benny Goodman Sextet and Charlie Christian on this Verve album. Burrell is joined by bassist Ron Carter, drummer Grady Tate and either altoist Phil Woods or (on "Wholly Cats") pianist Richard Wyands; vibraphonist Mike Mainieri guests on "As Long as I Live." Unfortunately the playing time of this LP is brief (a touch under 32 minutes) and the now-obscure set has been out-of-print for quite awhile but the music is excellent. Highlights include "Poor Butterfly," "Stompin' at the Savoy," "Rose Room" and "A Smooth One." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Kenny Burrell
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jul 31, 1931 in Detroit, MI
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Ballads, Bop, Cool, Hard Bop, Mainstream Jazz, Soul-Jazz
Kenny Burrell has been a very consistent guitarist throughout his career. Cool-toned and playing in an unchanging style based in bop, Burrell has always been the epitome of good taste and solid swing. Duke Ellington's favorite guitarist (though he never actually recorded with him), Burrell started playing guitar when he was 12, and he debuted on records with Dizzy Gillespie in 1951. Part of the fertile Detroit jazz scene of the early '50s, Burrell moved to New York in 1956. Highly in demand from the start, Burrell appeared on a countless number of records as a leader and as a sideman. Among his more notable associations were dates with Stan Getz, Billie Holiday, Milt Jackson, John Coltrane, Gil Evans, Sonny Rollins, Quincy Jones, Stanley Turrentine, and Jimmy Smith. Starting in the early '70s, Burrell began leading seminars and teaching, often focusing on Duke Ellington's music. He toured with the Phillip Morris Superband during 1985-1986, and led three-guitar quintets, but generally Kenny Burrell plays at the head of a trio/quartet.
