Synopsis

Product Description

?Magical things can happen when the right musicians are brought together under the right circumstances,? Kenny proclaims. Donny McCaslin and John Dryden as well as Tony Mason, John Bailey, and Andy Hess are those musicians Kenny is referring to. ?Friday at Five? was recorded in a small studio in Manhattan in 1997. To create more of a ?live? feel, no sound barriers were used to separate the musicians, much like recording sessions of years past. This ?demo project? was finished in two days and somehow ended up in storage. Eight years later, Kenny?s music remains as fresh as the day it was recorded in 1997. This enduring vitality is the essence of Kenny Carr?s debut album ?Friday at Five?.

CD Reviews

"The Genious" knows how to pick 'em!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Carr was the lead guitarist for the late, great musical genius, Ray Charles and went on tour with his orchestra during the last 10 years of his life. He also worked with another great Jazz Guitarist, the late Ray Brown. It's easy to see why Charles selected Carr. He has an exciting guitar style that's similar to another great guitarist, Larry Carlton. There's allot of energy in his playing. It seems like he's having fun and he wants us to enjoy his playing as well. The tracks New York Shuffle and Gramercy Groove are evident of his years of experience. My personal favorite track on the CD is "Coast to Coast". His debut, CD is a collection of blues and jazz tracks that will satisfy the lively listener as well as the relaxed."
