Kenny Burrell "All Blues"

[Resojazznblues]

I love modal playing. From the first time I heard The Allman Brothers Band play "Dreams" and then found Miles Davis' classic recording of "Kind of Blue." It was years before I learned that this type of playing is considered "modal" playing. This guy helped me out alot in understanding the form. Found this on YT awhile back. Burrell really gets into it and you can hear what an influence "KOB" has been in guitar rock. Hope you enjoy.

Tasteful take on All Blues with some hot playing.
Love the acoustic guitar sound, fits so well with bass and drums.
Then when he starts burning on electric it's very hip.

Thanks. I have some Burrell stuff. Never seen this. I started listening to jazz after hearing the Allman bros. listened to it and tiring of the new country on the radio a few years back.

Fantastic performance by Kenny Burrell.

Jazz guitarists are the best.
Jazz bassists are the best.
Jazz drummers are the best.

Any questions?

He is a great player. Great feel and dynamics. There are a lot of great players in jazz. Glad you enjoyed it.

No questions. I agree.

This often our 'starter jam' with our blues/GD Combo Trio ( fantastic rhythm section!)
- we do ( or did) lots of outdoor Cafe gigs, and this is a great 'ease into our band' jam for patrons to get to know us, or something...

Kenny Burrell is my favorite jazz guitarist... so smooth. I had not heard this performance before, and I heard a couple of riffs in it that I'm stealing.

I love Kenny and this tune is no exception

 

[stxrus]

I equate Kenny Burrell with smooth. One of my favorite players ever

Can anybody identify the guitar he’s playing?

I might be wrong, but I think he’s playing a Gibson Super 400CES.

It is definitely a great "mood" piece.

Sweet! Love this guy's playing. I've got a pile of his LPs.

And honestly, at least the skeleton, or arrangement of the piece is an easy entree into jazz, for a simple R&R/blues guy like myself- now, what you do with it, is another story.
I really don't know jazz guitar, but I can usually play something tasty over the changes...

A Super 400 is an archtop. It looks to me like he’s playing a flattop and the truss rod cover looks like a shape that I used to see on Yamahas from the 70s.

I have tried to find out what type of flat top acoustics he used. The only named one I have found was a "Versoul." I don't think it is what he used on this gig though.

Great video, thanks for posting.
