KENNY BURRELL COMPILATION

[jazzman4133]

This is a wonderful album full of some of Kenny's best work.

There's not too much info on exactly who's playing in which group but I have been able get the following info off the net. (I got this as a download from e-music and thus the lack of info as there are no liner notes).

Essential Wonderful overview of the best of this guitar giant, joined by a variety of all-stars, from "Pivot" from 3/57 with Donald Byrd, Jackie McLean, Mal Waldron & 2nd guitarist Jimmy Raney, through to 1991's "Autumn Leaves" (mistakenly listed as '71) with Cedar Walton & Ray Mantilla. There's all types of settings, from "Lyresto", Burrell playing with the Davis-less Miles Quintet (John Coltrane, Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers & Jommy Cobb from '58), an organ quartet withBrother Jack McDuff, to a trio with Chambers & Wynton Kelly, to a couple gorgeous solo Ellington numbers (Jump For Joy/ Azure). Other Giants heard here include Coleman Hawkins, Art Farmer, Gene Ammons, Jimmy Smith, Stanley Turrentine. (GM)
