“We’re so delighted to have Kenny, one of the most respected jazz guitarists in the world, not only perform at Boston Court, but do the first live recording at the Branson. The room’s superb acoustics will be used to great advantage, which is one of the reasons Kenny chose our venue for his recording,” said Mimi Champlin, producer and music talent coordinator for Zebulon Projects, which produces musical events at Boston Court.
Burrell has recorded more than ninety albums, many of which have received critical acclaim. He has been the recipient of many awards and has been voted "Best Guitarist" numerous times by music fans and critics worldwide.

"Master instrumentalist and composer," "virtuoso," "historic figure of American guitar." "Ellington's favorite guitar player" - this is a typical sampling of the critical praise routinely bestowed on Burrell.
