- Kenny Burrell & the West Coast All Stars, live at the Friends Of Jazz Festival, December 1979.
This superb set was performed at California’s first annual Friends of Jazz Festival, and broadcast as part National Public Radio’s Jazz Alive series. It captures the veteran guitarist at the top of his game, tackling a selection of standards in typically breezy fashion, backed by the cream of the country’s jazz talent. It’s presented in full here, together with background notes and images. Digitally remastered for greatly enhanced sound quality.
