Release Notes:
Kenny Burrell turned 75 on July 31, 2006. That night he finished a
five-day run at Yoshi's in Oakland and then the next day played
with the Gerald Wilson Orchestra in Santa Cruz. This CD
commemorates the occasion with performances from both nights,
presenting BurrellÆs sparkling guitar in settings that range from
an intimate trio to fronting Wilson's 17 ûpiece band. The material
reflects Burrell's long career and broad associations. Among the
small group tracks, there's a beautiful quartet sequence of Wayne
Shorter's "Footprints," J.J. Johnson's "Lament," and Miles Davis's
"All Blues," each demonstrating Burrell's consummate lyricism and
absolute mastery of the mainstream modern. The big-band tracks
pick up on associations with Duke Ellington, including the elegant
"Sophisticated Lady" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," with the
88-year-old Wilson providing a sparkling foundation that has
Burrell and company soaring. Best of all is the extended "A Night
in Tunisia" with a septet that has organist Joey DeFrancesco and
flutist Hubert Laws. --Stuart Broomer
