Kenny Burrell – Blue Muse (2003)
Concord Records | 2003 | Jazz | EAC RIP | FLAC (IMAGE)+CUE+LOG+HQ-Covers (400Dpi) | 369Mb+25Mb
This remarkable disc continues a string of exceptional jazz recordings by old guys: Homage, by James Moody; African Magic, by Abdullah Ibrahim; In Search of Momentum, by Ahmad Jamal; Go: Organic Orchestra, by Yousef Lateef. Believe it or not, Kenny Burrell has almost a hundred recordings as leader to his credit, and another two hundred as sideman. Quite a legacy, and one not to be gainsaid.
And this disc is entirely enjoyable, with its deep and authentic jazz/blues sensibility. Burrell's playing--soulful, nuanced, and burning where appropriate--exhibits a glorious maturity amazingly undiminshed by his advanced age (72 at the time this was recorded). Which just goes to show, the great ones keep on producing, even into their twilight years.
He also sings on four numbers, exhibiting an entirely creditable, smoky, blooze-drenched baritone. No, he's not in a league with Mel Torme or Joe Williams, but there's an affecting, heartfelt naivete to his vocals. I personally would prefer that he didn't sing--he's got such a great instrumental vibe going which, for me, is slightly compromised, diluted, whatever, by his singing--but he's certainly respectable as a crooner. Essential mainstream jazz, and very recommended !!!
