Jazz guitar legend Kenny Burrell is one of the last remaining true legends of the genre, having played with everyone from John Coltrane, Roy Haynes, Bill Evans, Stanley Turrentine, and last but by no means least, his long collaboration with organist Jimmy Smith.

Kenny's melodic, swinging, and bluesy styling has influenced so many players, including George Benson and Peter Bernstein. His album "Midnight Blue" is still regarded as one of the best Jazz guitar albums of all time.

Join long-time collaborators Chris Johnstone and Carl Dewhurst as they pay tribute to the man who is such an integral part of their own styles. They will be joined by a stellar rhythm section consisting of Chris Pound on bass and Nick McBride on drums. It will be a night of groovy and swinging jazz not to be missed.
