Milestones Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Happy birthday to an artist who has always delivered great pleasure. While not as innovative as some others, he is my favorite among all mainstream guitarists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I´ll never Forget the first time I heard him on record. It was his solos on "Whims of Chambers" and how much I like what he Plays. I never saw him live, but have a lot of his records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 14 years ago I went to his 75th Birthday Bash at Yoshi's. It was later released on BN. Quite an all star affair including Gerald Wilson, who I was honored to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 One of the finest, up there with Wes and Grant Green. He contributed greatly to countless Blue Note sessions and beyond. I doubt that he will see this thread, but if so, Happy Birthday and thanks for all the excellent playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milestones Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 I've been listening to some of my personal playlists of Burrell. One features him playing the blues; another is his work in intimate settings (solo, duo, trio); I have two of him playing nothing but Ellington and Strayhorn. I have a total of 18 Kenny Burrell playlists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
