But what he recorded was always high-quality stuff, particularly the album with Burrell.<br /><br />Mange takk!<br /><br />Anton G.-F.<br />The Vintage Bandstand<br />http://vintagebandstand.blogspot.comAnton Garcia-Fernandezhttp://vintagebandstand.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294031900054194810.post-44419252624554053142015-03-29T08:13:29.398-07:002015-03-29T08:13:29.398-07:00By chance I happened to hear the John Jenkins - Ke...By chance I happened to hear the John Jenkins - Kenny Burell version of Everything I have is Yours on radio this morning and was very impressed by the alto player sounding almost like Bird.
