In the 21st century, High Note Records has distinguished itself as a purveyor of
exceptionally high-quality offerings by seasoned jazz veterans still playing at
the top of their game. This date by Kenny Burrell, Live at Dizzys Club Coca Cola
(a club within the Lincoln Center) is no exception. It was cut on September 9,
2008 during his one-week stand at the venue -- his first extended engagement in
the Apple since leaving it for California to head UCLAs jazz program a decade
ago. Burrell is accompanied by his regular drummer (and session ace) Clayton
Cameron, brilliant pianist Benny Green, bassist Peter Washington, and
24-year-old newcomer Tivon Pennicott on tenor saxophone and flute. While this
marks Burrells debut for High Note, it is the first ever recorded appearance for
Pennicott. The band gets right to work on an extended reading of Chano Pozos Tin
Tin Deo. Burrell introduces it gently, but within a minute, Washington enters
and then Cameron. The full band enters at two minutes and the gorgeous Latin
groove begins to assert itself in waves beginning with Pennicotts swinging tenor
solo. Burrell works all of his harmonic magic on the tune, stretching its
rhythmic and lyric possibilities but keeping that loping groove in the center.
Another standout is the burning-down-the-house read of Kenny Dorhams Blue Bossa,
with wonderfully inventive work by Cameron and Burrell knotting up his own solo
in a multi-faceted chord workout. Green is always in the pocket, pushing
Washington and Cameron; and though he plays a backing role, Pennicotts roiling
tenor solo is impressive. Washington gets a real chance to shine on Burrells
famous Bass Face. He not only drives the tune but his solo is rich and
multidimensional. (The tune was written as a showcase for Ray Brown.) There are
three tributes to Duke Ellington here: the first a strident, rhythmically
adventurous take on Billy Strayhorns Raincheck, a deeply intuitive, supremely
lyric version of In a Sentimental Mood, and Burrells solo guitar ballad Be
Yourself. The set closes with a fingerpopping Bags Groove. Despite the bands
introduction near the beginning, the call-and-response between Pennicott and
Burrell, with Camerons gradually layer-building swing is a fantastic send-off.
This is trademark Kenny Burrell: creative, disciplined, and full of melodic
blues and grooves.
