I truly believe that any of the artists mentioned above would surely agree that this is a very silly and juvenile discussion.

Music is not a competitive sport.

My good friend: pro·lific (prō lif′ik, prəlifik)

adjective; producing many young or much fruit

turning out many products of the mind a prolific scholar or poet... In my books "turning out many products of the mind" would mostly be directed toward the subjects own mind, not the mind of others.. How many of those 250 albums did Kenny compose from scratch? Each of the artists mentioned above composed more in there sleep then Kenny ever did in his entire waking existance. That's prolific...

[hchesc]

dude who cares who the most "profilic" jazz musicians are.. they are all good musicians and they all contribute to good music.. All we have to do is sit back and enjoy the good music they have to offer us

[yrrepzepol]

Hey mister prolific, learn how to spell! It's "in their sleep"

and "Than kenny ever did"

Kenny still doing it in 2007 .Surely the most prolific Jazz musician of all time and true Jazz guitar Master

[bestbowltix]

Ssswwooweee...."Surely the most prolific Jazz musician of all time" damn... That's a hell of a statement mi amigo. You must be a guitarist. (I am too by the way). Check out Charles Lloyd (also still kickin'). Al DeMieola, John Mclaughlin, Charles Mingus, Thelonius Monk, Oscar Peterson, Billy Higgins the list goes on and on "most prolific" is strong words... I think any of the above mentioned arts might be strong contenders though...

My friend I think Kenny Burrell has been credited on over 250 albums I'm afraid your list of other great musicians even put together might not even match that .Perhaps we have a different meaning of 'prolific'.Peace man

[hallmanjon]

I agree he isnt the most prolific writer. As for that list, I agree with Lloyd, Mingus, McLaughlin, Peterson, Monk and Higgins, but Dimeola just sounds funny in that company. Would any nonguitarist have him on there? And what about Wayne Shorter? For me it doesn't get any better.Chick Corea? Keith Jarrett? For guitarists how about Metheny?

In Kenny's defense, you can still say he's a prolific musician, since his improvisations come from the mind. "Surely the most" is a silly comment though.

[ColmOSullivanRed]

I must say, I believe you to be correct, in that Mr. Burrell has indeed recorded more albums as a leader than anyone else - I've always heard this said about him (another contender is Stitt, and I'm sure Lee Konitz and others may now have overtaken him as he's settled into academia more recently), and that means he's to be mentioned as close to the most prolific there is! (I happen to think also amongst the most profound, but that's irrelevant here: "prolific" pertains only to volume of output!)

[otnas01]

My friend thanks for clarifying my point,that I was refering to volume of output of albums,gigs,sessions etc.Maybe my statement was a bit grand but musicians like Kenny deserve such praise and not the silly fussing over the word'prolific'

El Chicano style!!!
