Carl has just finished work on his new album "Life Before Midi". Inspired by Wayne Krantz' "2 Drink Minimum" and his work with Robben Ford, the album was recorded in the spirit of artists getting together and not having to play within a preconceived box. Carl put together some killer cats and with no rehearsal, no midi programming, no click track - just 100% live jamming, they recorded the album.

A great guitarist who flourishes without the fuel driven by ego is a rarity, but Carl Burnett is one such player. Carl manages to be on everyone’s A-list without the attitude that generally accompanies that realm. A guitarist with a dizzying list of credits who has played and recorded with the likes of Branford Marsalis, David Sanborn, Robben Ford, Hiroshima and the late George Howard and has appeared on the Tonight Show, David Letterman, and The Grammy Awards.

Few guitarists can be described as "Zen-like" and "Hendrixian" in the same sentence, but that's exactly the complexity that defines Carl Burnett. He readily transcends the instrument into a realm of pure worship defining the experience moment to moment, string to string. A musician who can make the leap from a burning jazz/rock solo to an unfettered funk rhythm groove; Burnett’s playing leapfrogs musical styles. Yet Burnett’s true advantage over other players is his ability to listen.
