Carl Burnett's 2005 instrumental CD is entitled Life Before Midi: Naked features special guest appearances by guitarist Robben Ford ("The Next Thing", "Air Off", "Dick Cavette's Blues") and saxophonist Branford Marsalis ("Family", "Tutto Azzurro"), and was recorded the same way as his previous CD "Life Before Midi" - that is, no rehearsal, no midi programming, no click track - just 100% live jamming. A musician who can make the leap from a burning jazz/rock solo to an unfettered funk rhythm groove; Burnett's playing leapfrogs musical styles. Yet Burnett's true advantage over other players is his ability to listen. The silences are palpable because he knows how to let his instrument breathe and when to speak. It's a level of musicianship that one rarely witnesses. Life Before Midi: Naked also features Wyzard, Reggie Hamilton and Tony Tino on bass, Oscar Seaton, Curt Bisquera, Rocky Bryant andTony Moore on drums, and Deron Johnson on Rhodes. Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Funk/Rock), total running time, 57:33 - Carl Burnett @ iTunes!
