Kenny Burrell (g); Freddie Hubbard (tp); Hubert Laws (fl); Hugh Lawson, Richard Wyands (p); Ron Carter (b); Billie Cobham (dr); Ray Barretto, Airto Moreira (perc); a.o.
Kenny Burrell's guitar artistry is well-documented
in his years with Oscar Peterson and on his first
dates as a leader on the Blue Note label, but
'God Bless The Child', his only date for CTI in
1971, is an under-heard masterpiece in his
catalogue. Burrell's band for the set includes
bassist Ron Carter, percussionist Ray Barretto,
Richard Wyands on piano, flutist Hubert Laws,
trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, and drummer Billy
Cobham. CTI's house arranger, Don Sebesky,
assembled and conducted the strings in a manner
that stands strangely and beautifully apart from
his other work on the label. Sebesky understood
Burrell's understated approach to playing guitar.
Burrell didn't belong with the fusioneers, but he
could groove better than any of them. Sebesky
built a moody, atmospheric soundscape behind him,
one that was as impressionistic as it was
illuminating of a player who could dig in and chop
it up -- as he does on his own composition 'Love
Is the Answer' and 'Do What You Gotta Do' -- and
stroke it smooth and mellow as on the title track,
the truly sublime 'Be Yourself', and Thad Jones'
'A Child Is Born'. This is Burrell at his level
best as a player to be sure, but also as a
composer and as a bandleader. Magnificent.
