This period of Kenny Burrell's career found the guitarist playing more -- and better -- than ever. But he had long before abandoned his high-profile role as house guitarist for Prestige and Blue Note (in the 1950s and 1960s) and as a studio guitarist on a staggering number of jazz, pop and film dates (during the ...

Kenny Burrell: Love Is the Answer
by Jack Bowers
This is lovely music that conveys a lovely theme of peace, tolerance, understanding and self-reliance.
