Kenny Burrell • Soulero

Review by Scott Yanow

This CD reissues the ten selections on guitarist Kenny Burrell's Cadet LP The Tender Gender, a version of "My Favorite Things" from a Christmas album and five selections from his 1967 date Ode to 52nd Street. The former set showcases Burrell with a quartet also including pianist

Richard Wyands, bassist Marty Rivera and drummer Oliver Jackson, while the other numbers feature him accompanied by orchestras arranged by Richard Evans. Burrell plays typically tastefully throughout the performances, displaying a clear tone and a solid mastery of the bebop vocabulary. No real surprises occur except perhaps for the repertoire, which includes such unlikely numbers as "People," "Girl Talk" (which works quite well) and "Wild Is the Wind."

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Este CD reedita las diez selecciones del LP Cadet The Tender Gender del guitarrista Kenny Burrell, una versión de "My Favorite Things" de un álbum de Navidad y cinco selecciones de su Oda a la Calle 52 de 1967. El primer set muestra a Burrell con un cuarteto que también incluye al pianista

Richard Wyands, el bajista Marty Rivera y el baterista Oliver Jackson, mientras que en los otros números lo acompañan orquestas arregladas por Richard Evans. Burrell toca típicamente con gusto durante las actuaciones, mostrando un tono claro y un sólido dominio del vocabulario del bebop. No hay sorpresas reales excepto quizás por el repertorio, que incluye números tan improbables como "People", "Girl Talk" (que funciona bastante bien) y "Wild Is the Wind".
