...on the old Later w/Bob Costas show, something to the effect that the reason his old records sounded so musical was that he had "cats like Panama Francis & Kenny Burrell" playing on them.
Now, Francis I knew about, but Burrell came as a bit of a surprise. I mean, I had heard of his "session work", but assumed that it meant jingles and such. But session work is session work, I suppose, and the old R&R sides didn't swing like they did by accident, ya' know?
Anyway, does anybody have any further info about this aspect of Burrell's career, like whether it was something he did a lot of, or if he just hooked up for a few sessions with a certain artist and/or producer?
As always, thanks in advance!
