PRESS QUOTE
“Christopher Burnett is a paragon of taste. His new album Originals is characterized by sprightly melodies and amiable swing. The stately jazz is ideally suited for background music at an elegant dinner party or as the center of attention in a ritzy supper club.”

PERSONAL NOTE
“ORIGINALS” is a musical “love letter” to our family throughout the ages. To: Our past biological family members who we have never met because we are displaced historically by generations. To: Our biological family members of our own time and to our future biological family members whom we will never meet in person. And, to our life family members who consist of the people and kindred spirits we have encountered on this journey who have indeed become “family.”
TESTIMONIALS
“Hey Chris, The key is to become a competent musician and improvise like YOU, not Cannonball, not ‘Trane, not Bird, YOU! When you can do that you’ve arrived at the essence of this music.”
🎵🎶🎺 Marcus Hampton (1941-2021)

Most of the professional Kansas City Area photography used in our websites and projects is by our friend Duane Hallock Photography. The other photographs are by us. We learned to produce our own websites by writing HTML code by hand back in 1997. As a small business, we found this developed skill useful and learning how to do it ourselves has also saved lots of time and money as well.
