The Jon Burr Band \"Just Can\'t Wait\" CD/DVD features a stunning collection of original songs by leader/bassist/composer Jon Burr, with impassioned vocal performances by an all-star cast, and brilliant improvisations by world-class jazz musicians.
\"Reaching out for the new while not letting go of the tried and true,\" according to AllAboutJazz.com, this collection of Burr originals encompasses a range of styles with jazz at the core. \"Burr ... went beyond a Buddy Rich, Tony Bennett or Stan Getz because he was the songwriter and lyricist as well as a performer. Burr simply dared to take that extra step of creating and presenting original, unfamiliar material. These artists really had respect for the music... Throughout, it was clear this was not an ego trip but a group of musicians performing with a common goal of creating the best music with the highest standards of musical performance. Finally, someone had the courage to try something new within the traditions of jazz and popular music.\"
The DVD also features a \"Meet the Artist\" interview, opened and closed with solo bass performances by Jon Burr.

I Love this CD !
author: Kathleen Gorman
What a brilliant collection of new standards!
This recording boasts gorgeous vocals and stellar performances from world class musicians. But the songs themselves are remarkable in their adherence to the traditions of Jazz while bringing something fresh and contemporary to the table. The CD and highly entertaining DVD of a live show at Birdland, are a perfect duo of great Jazz, and should appeal to a wide range of music lovers. The level of artistry is top notch, the compositions are beautifully crafted and the recording is outstanding.
Jon Burr proves himself to be a master Jazz musician, composer and arranger, and this CD is an instant classic!
