“Kenny Burrell is overall the greatest guitarist in the world and he’s my favorite.”
BB King

“The greatest guitarist in jazz history.”
Time

Join us in celebrating the 75th birthday of one of Jazz’s great innovators, Kenny Burrell. He is among a handful of guitarists who have forever changed the role of the instrument in jazz. For over fifty years, his distinct style, tone, and phrasing have graced recordings and performances by almost every major performer in jazz history. Combine a consummate sense of swing, an encyclopedic musical vocabulary and always-excellent taste and you have the one-and-only jazz guitar artistry of this legendary figure in jazz. He is a master improviser, prolific composer and distinguished educator. Kenny Burrell will be joined by Joey DeFrancesco, one of the baddest B-3 burners in the business, as well as others such as internationally known flutist, Hubert Laws and The Gerald Wilson Jazz Orchestra (appearing on July 31st only).
