yes. this is what I'm talking about.
the sign of a good song: you walk like it sounds.
i dig.
Rated it 10 sometime in the past.
who dat on tenor?
Dat is the great Stanley Turrentine. Really grooves furshur!
perfect.
Just watching this dude move along to the music is quite entertaining.
One important question: Black-eyed peas with ham, bacon or both?
I use either smoked ham hocks or smoked turkey necks. If there's some bacon around it goes in too, but I saute the veggies in bacon fat anyway...
c.
I always make black-eyed peas and a mess o' greens. With cornbread of course. Chitlins, I can't go there.
Down the road in Smithville, there is an original joint from the Chitlin Circuit - there aren't that many left. Went to the dedication of a historical marker in 2011. Hometown heroes performed: Hannibal Lokumbe MCed, Ruby Jane (ok, Dallas) tore the freakin' strings off her fiddle, Sonny Rhoades headlined, The Peterson Brothers backed everybody. Black folks, white folks, BBQ and beer. It was epic.

Thank you, no.
Kenny Burrell is a killer jazz guitarists. He pretty much was a fixture with the Jimmy Smith trio. Nice and tasty.
Aye to that.
Count another aye.
Aye to that.

Longtime Angeleno Kenny Burrell, who turned 80 this summer, has been recording as a jazz guitarist for six decades; he’s long been one of the masters of the instrument and is now one of the last links to jazz’s heroic age.
He speaks in an Arts & Books profile about his roots in Detroit, the meaning of the blues, his birthday concert at UCLA’s Royce Hall, his years at the university and his hopes for the future.
Burrell was shaped by hearing a number of important guitarists – the blazingly innovative Charlie Christian, the lush, chordal Oscar Moore – while very young, but also by the blues scene in his hometown and elsewhere; he often heard T-Bone Walker and John Lee Hooker while growing up.
But somehow, he says, “I was not influenced very much by guitar players.” His other main inspirations – “Parker, Miles, Lester Young” – were all horn players, and Burrell often plays a single-line, horn-like
He discusses his philosophy of music in the profile, his dedication to balancing head and heart and his reputation for disciplined improvisations. “When I first became aware of music and began listening to recordings, everything was three, four, five minutes – max. And I learned, great artists can say a lot in that time. I’ve got through a lot of generations of music. But I come from a generation for which performaces were not overly long.”
His latest album, “Tenderly,” is a concert for solo guitar recorded in Pasadena’s Boston Court. It includes standards like “Autumn Leaves,” a medley of songs associated with Billie Holiday, and a montage by Burrell’s hero, Duke Ellington. This is reflective, lyrical music, a long way from the soulful ‘60s Burrell of “Chitlins Con Carne,” but powerful in its own way.
And even today, 60 years after he began recording with Dizzy Gillespie, music remains mysterious to Burrell. “It goes into that part of us that’s the spirit. That’s what will speak to people really loud. That’s a combination of knowledge and feeling. And there’s a deeper thing that we don’t understand – that pulls our own knowledge and feelings together. If you’re lucky you can express that.”

very nice
THANK YOU for playing great jazz like this... Hope more like to come!!! ...from 1963's Midnight Blue :)
Tell me what chitlins are
Chitlins are the small intestines of a pig, which are popular in the Southern U.S.; usually either boiled or stewed (as in this song title). In Britain they're called "chitterlings" and they're called "tricandilles" in France. I have never eaten them, nor do I have any intention of ever doing so.
BTW, I ain't eatin emSame thing they're calling sweet breads here I think - offal no?
BTW, I ain't eatin emTell me what chitlins are
BTW, I ain't eatin emA lot.
OK - here's the chance to trash me:
I FIND THIS MUSIC RATHER BORING!
Wow...beautifully put, Businessgypsy! Disagreeing with a compliment that may or may not be a putdown!
Myself, however: I FIND THIS MUSIC RATHER INTERESTING!
wow, cool man

I don't recall ever hearing this. It's an awesome fit for current state of mind. Early afternoon on a Friday, Perhaps I should have waited a bit on the 22oz of hearty Cappuccino Stout. Working remote, so couldn't resist starting Friday a wee bit early :P What a perfect mix for my current state of mind on a moody Pacific Northcoast day. Tune seemed to end all too soon almost leaving me wishing for an extended version.
Mr Burrell is yet another name added to my ever growing list of artists to give another listen. A huge thanks Bill to opening my ears to so much great music!
Salut!

It's not everybody's style. I get that, NP.
Although the musicians on this set are playing free-form, it's not exactly a license to just play as you want. There's a tightness to the extended solos that break out as each musician takes their turn. That's the beauty of really great jazz (and this is more "cool" than "bebop").

Finally, some evidence that you're listening to something/someone besides yourself. This is encouraging.
