This is a musician\u2019s funky jazz jam, with hints of rock jams,wah  wahs, fender Rhodes, and REAL DRUMS! \u00a0Mr.  Burnett is insightful, lyrical, while not falling prey towards guitar  over-chops.<\/p>\n<p>  Some of the featured artists include funky funky Reggie  Hamilton (B), Deron Johnson (K), Robben Ford (G), and Branford Marsalis  (TS,SS). <i>Loud Party Warning, Funk E Mo Fo, <\/i>and <i>The  Next Thing<\/i> are as soulful and George Duke-funky as they come. My favorite  for depth ness sake is <i>Tutto Azzurro<\/i>,  which definitely remembers a guitarist with the last name of Hendrix and his  band. There is plenty of 70\u2019s feel present, with early influences of pre-popular  Parliament Funkadelic. The late drummer Tony Williams comes to mind in relation  to this cd, in that musicians whom are labeled under Jazz are known to jump  towards rock-funk. This disc shows that it is possible to not over simplify  studio time and just let the musicians do their thing with success. So I say  \u2018right on, fight the power\u2019 to Carl Burnett. 3 1\/2 stars.                <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/font><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carl Burnett Life before Midi: Naked(CDBaby &#8211; 2004) by John<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4891\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
