MartyGrass Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 This happened in 2004 at NAMM. Rory Hoffman, a blind jazz guitarist, was asked if by another guitarist if they could jam together. It wasn't until after the jam that the second guitarist introduced himself as Kenny Burrell. Notice how Kenny has great ear training. He can parrot whatever he hears.
MartyGrass Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Even Kenny Burrell drops his picks!
Gitfiddler Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 That is a wonderful, smile-inducing video!! Thanks for posting.
fxdx99 Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Thanks for that - fun to watch. ~3:40 they just zero in on that jam and ride it out strong. Wow.
bolero Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 wow I remember reading about that...didn't know they got it on video!! looks like they're all having a great time thx for posting Marty!! --->imagine the shock of hearing "My name is Kenny Burrell", followed shortly by "hey guys, Henry is gonna jump in, too"
bolero Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 ...still listening...that is some great playing man, if I ever win the lottery I am buying a Kenny Burrell, a Henry Johnson, and a Johnny Smith!!
