Kurt Rosenwinkel has been considered a major and increasingly influential guitarist ever since he made his first recording with Human Feel in 1991.
Rosenwinkel, who also recorded during that era with Paul Motian and Mark Turner, early on developed his own original electronic sound on the guitar.
While he is often heard playing originals, on this performance from 2022, Rosenwinkel stretches out on Benny Golson’s “Along Came Betty.”
He is joined by tenor-saxophonist Eric Alexander, pianist Tim Brey, bassist Alex Claffy, and drummer Willie Jones III. for a spirited performance that includes excellent guitar, piano, tenor and drum solos.
