You can talk about scales, and modes and theory; what goes over what all you want but you can tell when somebody Kenny that his just playing the tune. He's playing around and singing the melody who he hears and feels it.

@detteermintube The first chours is bad, almost like he lost his place or somthing. At the same time I would kill for his tone!

One of the Greats,Amazing player,one of a few guitarists who made a record mith John Coltrane!!!!!!!!!!

The Burrell playing is beautiful, the bassist plays superbly, all the nit-pickers can get stuffed.

My mother went to high school and undergraduate school with this guy.

@JosephIbrahim88 yes but basses are always funky that way. besides,your ear is inaccurate in the bass range.
However, this is definitely meandering in the solo. but that is charming.

Does the bass sound out of tune to anyone else?
Whatever you guys think about technique it sounds like Kenny Burrell. That is the most important thing. Ultimate technique is being able to sound like yourself warts and all. You can recognise Kenny after two bars no matter what guitar he is playing. He is a Jazz guitar legend; end of story.

@detteermintube - I understand your observation. In my early days as a beginning guitar player I sort of had the same opinion. However, as a player of 35 years, I agree with others comments. It's Kenny's style and he is a true Jazz guitar master. Barney Kessel has the same sort of "on the edge, slap at it, almost out of tune, sloppiness" for a lack of better words. But this is music coming from their soul. Some players are so polished they are boring and mechanical sounding. Not theses guys!
