Full Version: KENNY BURRELL ??
I was just riding home from a gig and I heard the radio announcer on wbgo refer to the late Kenny Burrell. My heart sank. I hope he was wrong.
Just like Elvin Jones, nothing in the Google News about Burrell either. Both men must still be alive and doing their thing the way only they know how.
Those Detroit people still have a long way to go...
Bet they are preparing to jam together. Just waiting to hear where and when.

H.Z., I have a feeling that the announcer was confusing Burrell and Kessel. I can't really explain it, but I've had friends and acquaintances (guys who aren't guitar fanatics) confuse those two on several occasions. I've heard several people refer to the (Kessel's) unfortunate stroke when I bring up Burrell's name. Sometimes I wonder if it's a dyslexia thing... B.K. / K.B... 
At any rate, I hope and pray that Burrell is doing fine.

I couldn't find anything on the web. I'm really hoping this isn't true!

BTW, had he just played something by Burrell? Or... could it have been a Kessel recording?
I know YOU know the difference, but perhaps if you weren't paying close attention at the time...
Jim, the DJ had just played "Soul Blues" off thePrestige Bean/KB record, although he still have may have been the names somehow jumbled up in his mind.
