It’s natural for Kenny Burrell to take a stab at ‘Wholly Cats’ considering her long-professed love for U2. On Verve Jazz Masters 45 album, Kenny Burrell have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Self-described as Jazz with lots of words, Kenny Burrell comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Check it every song is worth the money for the Verve Jazz Masters 45 CD!
This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Kenny Burrell. Kenny Burrell is one of artists that allow his songs like Greensleeves to stand on their own and be heard. In Just A-Sittin’ And A-Rockin’ it becomes nowhere more obvious that Kenny Burrell has yet to define own style. Wonder Why catches attention immediately, Sugar Hill - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Kenny Burrell is hitting on all cylinders in Seven Come Eleven. I can’t stop humming along Soulful Brothers. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Love You Madly is my favorite song on Verve Jazz Masters 45. Last Night When We Were Young is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. This song may be the most meaningful. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Breadwinner. Angel Eyes - For me, this is the best of the album. Simple and heartfelt closing track Blue Bash closes Verve Jazz Masters 45 on a high note. Nice and different song.
