I find a lot of jazz guitar to be soulless and sterile, no matter how technically good the player is, but this sounds alive. It might be the blues focus that keeps things simple and moving; it might be the excellent recording that makes each player stand out clear and sharp; it might be Burrell's un-fussy playing (I can almost imagine learning to play some of these tunes). Whatever it is, I like it. The first tune is <i>Chitlins Con Carne<\/i>, a cover of which appears on Stevie Ray Vaughan's excellent, posthumous <i>The Sky Is Cryin<\/i>.<br \/>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_PGyq5S8pJHY\"><div id=\"lyte_PGyq5S8pJHY\" data-src=\"\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/PGyq5S8pJHY\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PGyq5S8pJHY\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/PGyq5S8pJHY\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video thumbnail\" width=\"640\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<li><b>Opeth - Blackwater Park<\/b> I love Opeth's last three records. And this one, much older, has the reputation of being Opeth's best record. But I just can't take the death metal growling Cookie Monster vocals seriously.
