Strange as it seems, the main criticism about this CD and about
Kenny Burrell's playing during the past couple decades is that he is often overly tasteful. On this set (which has six unaccompanied guitar solos, four duets with bassist
Ray Drummond, and three trio numbers with
Drummond and drummer
Yoron Israel),
Burrell is so loving of the melodies, to which he adds his beautiful tone. The tunes are superior though they aren't his definitive versions. ~ Scott Yanow
