BE YOURSELF

The diversity and elegance of Kenny Burrell's guitar playing is evident throughout this exceptionally fine performance, the latest in Highnote's on-going series captured live at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, Jazz at Lincoln Center. From the very start of his career Kenny Burrell has been described as a bop and hard bop player. The bop elements are there, to be sure, along with blues and a great blend of the two styles. But, Kenny Burrell also exhibits a much gentler, more melodic and expressive style of play. Hear what made George Benson exclaim, "There is no finer guitarist than Kenny Burrell."
