-if you hear the album.... you will see that concord does
not restrict my choice of style. The auction money is going
to musicians that have hit hard times. The titile of the CD
is names after a tune on the cd. Everyone knows that this is
in know way connected to the very fine Kenny Burrel Cd.
think what you like!!! It matters little to me.

I think Jimmy himself said on the usenet discussion newsgroup
rec.music.makers.guitar.jazz, that indeed Concord records has a
style and sound they want him to play. That is the price to pay for a
recording contract with that label.

ps. I understand your point of view re: the name of the album.
I don't think it is copyrighted, or can be. Multiple books have
the same name, multiple movies too.
But I don't care if he uses the same name. Is it callous
disrespect on Bruno's part or just a name he felt appropriate
to his own tune? Or is it an attempt to cash in on a famous
title, to confuse the buying public? I doubt the latter.

I'm amazed that this message got by the moderator - a blatant
advertisement. Perhaps I am wrong, but I assumed that part of the
role of the moderator is to filter out spam and commercial
messages.
That said, this is one of the reasons that I don't like Jimmy
Bruno -- how can you take a title - "Midnight Blue" which is
one of the all time jazz guitar classics by Kenny Burrell,
and blatantly reuse the name? (Are album titles copyrighted?)
I think this is incredibly disrespectful.
