Kenny Burrell Is Overall The Greatest Guitarist

I Call Myself A Blues Singer, But You Ain't Never Heard Me Call Myself A Blues Guitar Man.

I Think Of Guitar Players In Terms Of Doctors: You Have The Doctor For Your Heart, The Cardiologist, Then One That Works On Your Feet, Your Leg. But I Believe George Benson Is The One That Plays All Over. To Me, He Would Be The M.d. Of Them All.

I'm Self-taught. But I Finally Learned That They Was Having Little Shows Or Night Dances Or Whatever You Call Them At Little Juke Joints Not Far From Where I Lived, And I Used To Go There. They Wouldn't Let Me Play Inside, But I Could Sit Outside On The Weekends, When It Wasn't Raining Or Something.

It Just Seemed To Me That The Way I Played Was Nice. I Could Hear It Myself.

It's Going To Be Years And Years Before Most People Realize How Greatly He Contributed To American Music.
