Now I know why Kurt wears a hat most of the time!!!

@stopthatnoise: "Evolved" since Wes, Smith, Benson, et al.? Nothing played here would have been out of reach of any of the masters of the instrument who came before. They probably wouldn't have liked this style, but they would have understood it. As far as musical sophistication, Wes and the old masters ran rings around stuff like this - which is technically advanced but musically boring fusion.

@jeminikes very well written!

Love it. Like a great fusion player with less tension and less cock. Nice accompaniment by him and the others too.
-
wonderful stuff - when a 'new' (previously unknown to me) guitarist catches my radar, OK that's a lie, but then if you think how so many promises fade to mediocrity, old gods and academia aside (your lauded termites). we who have known good sounds, we know good sounds when we hear them. or is it the inert primal rhythmic horn - who knows? - bloomin' good array tho Kurt ...
-
@jeminikes basically a Jim Hall with the technique of a Joe Pass, Metheny or Stern...yet so unique...unreal.
-
Kurt!!!! this is adorable!!!!!! sooo dreamy, so melodic and never boring scales. Hope to see you live soon.
-
He could be the best

I wish I didnt miss him when he played in Istanbul



Kurt is a great present for the moder jazz guitar world, nice to see how the jazz guitar sound evolved since Wes, Smith, Pat Martino, Pass, Benson, Metheny.. till Philip Catherine.
The mood is reached, now jazz can make people even fly.
Thank you for sharing

Kurt's playing displays a combination of two traits rarely found together in contemporary jazz: a highly virtuosic approach to the contour and content of his lines, as well as a keen ability to weave arresting and emotional melodic material into his improvisation. That he is able to incorporate a wide variety of harmonic and melodic ideas from both jazz and western classical music - all while keeping his melodic lines sensitive and organic - should inspire musicians at every level and style.
