--- FEATURED TRACKS:
1. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" personnel: Chris Burnett, alto saxophone; Roger Wilder, piano; Craig Akin, acoustic bass; and David Basse, drumset. arrangement by Chris Burnett (2004); composed by Ralph Blane, with lyrics written by Hugh Martin.
The song first appeared in a scene in Meet Me in St. Louis, in which a family is distraught by the father's plans to move to New York City for a job promotion, leaving behind their beloved home in St. Louis, Missouri just before the long-anticipated Louisiana Purchase Exposition begins. In a scene set on Christmas Eve, Judy Garland's character, Esther, sings the song to cheer up her despondent five-year-old sister, Tootie, played by Margaret O'Brien.[2]
When presented with the original draft, Garland, her co-star Tom Drake and director Vincente Minnelli criticized the song as depressing, with lines such as "Have yourself a merry little Christmas / It may be your last / Next year we may all be living in the past" and "Faithful friends who were dear to us / Will be near to us no more".[3] Though he initially resisted, songwriter Hugh Martin made several changes to make the song more upbeat. For example, the lines "It may be your last / Next year we may all be living in the past" became "Let your heart be light / Next year all our troubles will be out of sight".[3] Garland's version of the song, which was also released as a single by Decca Records, became popular among United States troops serving in World War II; her performance at the Hollywood Canteen brought many soldiers to tears.[4]
In 1957, Frank Sinatra asked Martin to revise the line "Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow". He told Martin, "The name of my album is A Jolly Christmas. Do you think you could jolly up that line for me?"[3] Martin's new line, "Hang a shining star upon the highest bough," has since become more widely recognized and sung than the original. Martin made several other alterations, changing the song's focus to a celebration of present happiness, rather than anticipation of a better future. Although the 1957 rewrite is the most familiar to listeners today, some artists, such as James Taylor, have issued more recent recordings with the original lyrics of the Judy Garland version.[3] Quiet Company recorded the song most recently for the 2007 release of Peace on Earth: A Holiday Album. The album was made available for download directly from the web. All proceeds from sales went to Toys for Tots charity.

[QUOTE: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] --- ARTIST STATEMENT
Since I have been a grown man for a while now, I find that my own life experiences, informed opinions, developed conclusions and conceived ideas are now the most fertile resources that serve as my primary artistic and musical influences. I have also long since developed my own techniques and approach as a creative musician. The work presented here is a sampling of these factors.
Coming from a military service bands career background has both, practical advantages and fundamental disadvantages. Advantages include the gaining of qualified professional experience and developing legitimate expertise covering most of the significant areas within the professional field of music. Disadvantages seem to be centered in the paradigm of likely having missed out on the types of networking that are so vital to acceptance within the jazz "community" and are generally established during initial formative years. So, at this matured stage in my career, in some ways I am 20 years ahead, and in others, I am 20 years behind. However, I seem to be maintaining a balance with this inherent dynamic nonetheless.
Considering all of the above, I have learned not to take myself "too seriously" and am therefore able to concentrate on creating music more so for the sake of the art of music, rather than predominantly as a commercial product. For me, this music is not about one's "ego" nor about "competition" with other musicians. Ultimately, life as a musician has been a lot of fun so far and I have paid a lot of dues...
philosophy of improvisation – the faith in the purity of the long line; the avoidance of licks and emotional chain-pulling;
and, the concentration on endlessly mining the harmonic and melodic possibilities within the music. --- --- So, beyond that natural type of growth one experiences as a human being (which I believe is essential for any artist), it is also important for balance to acknowledge that I have not developed technically in a vacuum. Like any professional artist, I too have had some great mentors, friends and teachers who have also greatly influenced my development as both, a musical artist and man.
THANKS: I owe my introduction to instrumental music to Mr. James R. Fuchs, a clarinetist, who was my first teacher and our school band director. Mr. Fuchs brought Gary Foster to our school as a guest soloist and clinician. Our high school band made an LP record album with him. Mr. Fuchs also introduced me to Mr. Charles Molina, another great saxophone/clarinet player and a KU graduate, who was part-owner of our local music store in town where I worked after school. Mr. Molina gave me lessons too.
Once my family stopped moving after my father's military career was over, we came back home to our native Kansas City metro area to live in Paola, Kansas. Paola is a small city/suburb of Kansas City, but it seems to ultimately have produced a lot of great musicians and notable artist-types over the years. As an example, Danny Carey (Tool), Steve Pepoon (Alf, The Simpsons, Rosanne, etc.), and upcoming NYC-based saxophonist, Ryan Anselmi also hail from my hometown... --- --- By the time I came back home to my native Kansas City metro area in 2001 and sought out the local legend named Alaadeen as a mentor in the KC jazz traditions, I'd already had many viable experiences as a professional musician. Our mutually beneficial association lasted over the next 5 years. Equally important at that point in my career was association with the well-established drummer/vocalist, David Basse, who was the first person on the KC jazz scene to give me work. If you want to hear some great KC-style music, check those gentlemen out too... --- --- Additionally, I enjoy checking out most all sincere artistic expressions that are made using sounds. There are many other artists (well-advertised and not-so-well-advertised) with whose work I feel a particularly strong artistic simpatico. I am a perpetual student of life and music - that's cool... --- THE SHORT LIST
I would have to say that my "favorite" saxophonist is the late tenor man, Joe Henderson. Mr. Henderson was a formidable composer, a technical master of the saxophone and an original artist who could seamlessly play ANY style of jazz!
And, my favorite musician at this point in my career is arguably the late pianist and composer, Dr. Andrew Hill. This was a toss up with another genius - Wayne Shorter... Dr. Hill's work is very resourceful, rich harmonically and uniquely original as well - check it out. I also believe that his music announces the end of the Post-Bop era and the beginning of our modern times in this music ...
Following is a list of influential musicians, scholars and teachers, along with other musicians whom I've discovered over the years. Some of these names are well known to the public and some are not. Seek out their music, if it is available, and check it out if you haven't already:

Artist Profile : Chris Burnett Alto Saxophone and Composer
Christopher LeRoy Burnett was born on November 2nd, 1955 in Olathe, Kansas - a city suburb of Kansas City, Kansas. Primarily known as Chris Burnett and starting his active career in 1974 at the age of 18 years old, he has continued as a life-long learner while performing music professionally for over three decades. After his family traveled extensively in early childhood and lived at such places as: France, Michigan and Colorado, he was subsequently raised and grew up in the small KC metro city of Paola, Kansas where his studies in music began seriously under clarinetist, James R. Fuchs. Mr. Fuchs was the local school band director who exposed him to professional saxophone players like Charles Molina and Gary Foster during those formative years. His brother, Richie Pratt, who is also a musician (Lionel Hampton, Junior Mance, Aretha Franklin, New York Jazz Quartet, Broadway, Films, Studios ...), and the eldest sibling in his family continues to serve as a significant professional role model and mentor. Today, Mr. Burnett continues to perform at various locations world-wide, while being permanently based at home in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
* "Being in the military, I got closer to my country. Sure, it has its issues, but there is no other place, there's no better system, there's no other place where I could have become me, in the world. And in this music, I know I have to bring my point of view, just like the people before me that I admire, like Louis, Miles, Coltrane, Charlie Parker. They had the courage to be themselves." ~ Chris Burnett
Prior to establishing his current professional performing and recording artist activities, Mr. Burnett completed a 22-year active-duty career performing professionally and touring with various noteworthy US military bands organizations. And thus, he has already participated in thousands of live performances.
His honorable services resulted in the receipt of numerous award decorations, for both musical and military excellence, and include: the Department of Defense Meritorious Service Medal, two individual awards of the Army Meritorious Service Medal, and many others. Notable highlights of his military music career include: a Staff and Faculty assignment at the Armed Forces School of Music; Leading Chief Petty Officer of the NATO Band at Naples, Italy where he served as NATO Ceremonial Band Conductor, Jazz Ensemble Director, and featured soloist during performance tours which also included several television broadcasts; accepted for assignment to the West Point Military Academy Band's Jazz Knights as a jazz alto saxophonist; accepted for assignment to the Armed Forces School of Music as a Jazz Ensemble Rehearsal Conductor; being featured at the age of 23 years old, as jazz alto saxophone soloist with the Hof Symphony Orchestra (Germany) during two recorded Hauptkoncert (Main Concert) performances of the Rolf Liebermann 12-tone serial work, Concerto for Jazz Band and Symphony Orchestra (comp. 1954); along with jazz performances with his quartet outside of the military jobs. He was also selected to participate in a special "Staffing for Army Bands" video teleconference that resulted in the development and implementation of management systems that continue to positively and significantly impact the modern operational functionality of Army bands.
Ultimately, Mr. Burnett's service with professional military musical organizations provided vast legitimate educational opportunities; while simultaneously providing the essential incomparable real world performing and touring experiences that are necessary for an artist to mature and develop a unique musical voice. Therefore, his credentials in this regard have ultimately been validated and his artistry consistently proven over a significant period of time that covers several decades as well.
* "I played a lot of different styles of music in the military. I played in the rain and in the snow. I wouldn't choose to do that. Now I can choose what I want to do. I worked hard and paid those dues..." ~ Chris Burnett
CURRICULUM VITAE
Performing Artist and Award-winning Published Composer
As an active BMI Writer Affiliate, his ensemble performances and studio recordings primarily feature his original compositions and his interpretive arrangements of select works by other composers. As a composer, Mr. Burnett is the 1995 5-Star Award of Merit Winner of the National Federation of Music Clubs for his original composition and arrangement for big band titled, Daedalus. His debut CD titled, “Time Flies", was recorded with the last edition of his group named, "4-Jazz", which included: Jeff Stewart on piano, Elliot Kuykendall on acoustic and electric basses; and, Ken Baldwin and/or Bob Habib on drum set and percussion.
Another unique aspect of "Time Flies" is that it features Mr. Burnett with Chicago-based jazz pianist, Benjamin Lewis (Founder, MIDI Jazz Network), on one of the earliest Internet musical production collaborations ever formally documented, published and released on a commercially distributed professional CD. A modern thinker and early explorer of the digital music landscape, Burnett garnered more than a half million music downloads and sold CDs to fans in 38 countries via MP3.com (1999-2003) before most musicians had figured out that there were other ways than major record label contracts and brick-and-mortar retail stores to reach listeners. With several new CD projects scheduled to be recorded and released, "Time Flies" stands as a bonafide successful commercial album (i.e., meaning that in addition to critical acclaim, "Time Flies" CD sales have recouped all production expenses). Distributed worldwide on the Artists Recording Collective label brand, "Time Flies" continues to garner the highest of positive musical reviews and commentary from both, professional music critics and listening fans alike.
* "It's important to be able to build relationships with some musicians, rather than just hiring musicians and going to the studio to record. The music can become organic, the way the music is supposed to be. That's the kind of music we grew up with." ~ Chris Burnett
The goal of documenting music that rewards repeated listening has been achieved with his debut CD. Chris Burnett’s music is also being licensed by The Weather Channel and many others. In 2005, Mr. Burnett was commissioned by the American Royal’s BOTAR organization to orchestrate and arrange the special music for the choreographed dance presentation held during the annual BOTAR Ball ceremony program. The quality of his work and the high degree of his professionalism resulted in Mr. Burnett earning the commissions for both, the 2006 and 2007 BOTAR Balls, which were again very successful.
Performing Artist and Bandleader
Chris Burnett Quartet was formed upon his return home to live in the Kansas City area in 2001. Thus, he began another new phase of his career as a performer. The Chris Burnett Quartet debuted with a performance on the main stage of the Roots Festival at Paola, Kansas in 2002. In 2003, he was contacted to open at the Adam's Mark in Kansas City for Maynard Ferguson by the late jazz trumpet legend's management. As a result of that successful performance, an official of the Elms Resort and Spa who was in the audience, contracted CbQ to appear as the featured group at their 4th Annual Jazz and Wine Festival in Excelsior Springs, Missouri in 2004.
Some of the other recent performances included performing and successfully hosting the “Blue Monday Jam" at Kansas City's famous Blue Room jazz club in 2004 - thus validating the viability of his artistry within the historic "18th and Vine Jazz District" scene too. Mr. Burnett also participated in a special broadcast performance and recording for "The Jazz Scene - Holiday Show" radio program for Kansas Public Radio. Although 2005 was primarily a year of sideman performances and administrative music business work for Mr. Burnett, these opportunities were sincerely appreciated. He engaged each opportunity with equal enthusiasm, artistry and professionalism; while performing at events such as the very first Rhythm & Ribs 18th and Vine Jazz Festival, the 10th annual Parkville Jazz and Arts Festival, among other events that year. Ultimately, his contributions have been tangible in many areas of the music industry since being welcomed back home to the Kansas City area as an artist by the arts community, music journalists and professional artist colleagues alike.
In 2006 he also began engaging opportunities that include performing and touring - traveling to perform at both, Albuquerque, New Mexico and Austin, Texas that summer. Chris Burnett Quartet began getting regular performance opportunities at the newly renovated historic Hilton President Kansas City in The Drum Room on May 26, 2006. He was one of the very first artists featured by the newly renovated and historic Hilton President where he performed on the first Saturday of each month in the famous Drum Room within the Kansas City Power and Light District for over two years (2006-2008). This regular performing opportunity introduced him to the jazz community and was very important because it simply gave Burnett's music the chance to be heard by global visitors staying at the Hilton President Kansas City, Kansas City Jazz Community audiences, along with members of Kansas City Area Press/Media.
Mr. Burnett's professional musical activities as: composer, performer, arranger and clinician; since returning home to the Kansas City area in 2001 are diverse. Past Clients and Venues Performed include: American Jazz Museum's Blue Room (Kansas City), Missouri River Valley Choral Festival (Leavenworth, KS), Northwest Missouri State University Jazz Festival, Paola Roots Festival, Leavenworth High School Jazz Band, Lansing High School Jazz Band, McDonalds Corporation, Gem Theater (Kansas City), Alaadeen Enterprises, Inc., Fandeen Publishing Company, Inc., The Drum Room (Kansas City), Belles of the American Royal, Pleasant Ridge High School Band, City Light Orchestra, Kansas Public Radio, Elms Resort Jazz Festival, Maynard Ferguson, The Elephant Room (Austin, TX), Scalo Northern Italian Grill (Albuquerque, NM), Alfredo's Coffee House (Albuquerque, NM), Mutual Musicians Foundation (Kansas City), Coleman Hawkins Jazz Festival (Topeka, KS), Riverfront Community Center (Leavenworth, KS), The Toon Shop Lessons Studio (Leavenworth, KS), The Tune Shop Lessons Studio (Leavenworth, KS),The Sweet Life at Rosehill (Shawnee, KS), Claridge Court (Prairie Village, KS), The Uptown Theater (Kansas City), Concorde Fortress of Hope Baptist Church (Kansas City), Osawatomie Cultural Center (Osawatomie, KS), Dwight D. Eisenhower VA Medical Center (Leavenworth, KS), and St. James A.M.E. Church (Paola, KS), Kansas City Youth Jazz, Inc., among others.
Today, Chris Burnett has established a credible reputation as one of the finest alto saxophonists of his generation and is considered among Kansas City's most respected jazz artists. Having established his proven ability to develop an audience when given the opportunity, Mr. Burnett's goals also include booking performances at other venues too, while continually integrating more and more of his original music into the concert and performance set lists. Another goal is continuing to realize a series of select performances at select world-wide venues during his annual periods of travel outside of the Kansas City area and region.
Performing Artist and Educator
Artist Outreach and Community Service as a professional musician have been important elements from the start of Mr. Burnett's professional music career. This attitude is based upon his own experiences of having the benefit of learning from great music educators, as well as, having the benefit of numerous professional performing artists as mentors throughout the various stages of his active career.
So, in addition to his professional performance activities, Mr. Burnett remains involved in the development of student musicians as an IAJE artist/clinician (active member since 1985); through his own private teaching practice; and the conduct of affordable music clinics at local schools in the Kansas City area. Having supported the efforts of school music educators for over 25 years, first through hundreds of clinics during his career with military bands and now privately through his own Artist Outreach Program, he brings a professional performer's perspective and an educator's understanding to each setting.
Mr. Burnett has noteworthy college-level teaching experience as a former director of the jazz ensemble program at Missouri University of Science and Technology, formerly University of Missouri-Rolla, where he was employed as an adjunct Lecturer in Music for more than 10 years (academic years: 1984-1990 and 1996-2000) until returning home to the Kansas City area. He was bestowed as an honorary member of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma chapters at the University of Missouri-Rolla. He was also one of the principle artist/educators featured at the First Annual Jazz Education Forum and Jazz Festival in 1998, which was held in Jefferson City, Missouri. At which, he performed with his own quartet, as well as with another stellar group comprised of: Bill Cunliffe (piano), Kristin Korb (bass), and Yoron Israel, (drums). Mr. Burnett has taught several hundred students over the years. Some have gone on to study music at the college level, then engage professional careers in music as performers, recording artists or educators themselves. Today, Mr. Burnett continues his private teaching practice in affiliation with the retail music store of his local community and maintains a medium sized studio of music students who cover a demographical range that includes all skill levels.
* "My mom really taught us a couple of important values: service to the community and never forget your roots. The most important thing I do is teach about thirty kids privately. " ~ Chris Burnett
Performing Artist and Businessman
BurnettMusic.com is not only his official artist website domain name, but also an organized sole proprietorship business entity that is owned and operated by Mr. Burnett. His developed technical knowledge, proven management abilities and tempered experience as a businessman, result in several significant professional associations of BurnettMusic.com with other established music businesses and arts organizations.
As a publisher and businessman, Mr. Burnett also gained valuable experience while serving as a staff writer/arranger and company manager for many noteworthy military band assignments. Shortly after arriving back home and getting settled in the Kansas City metro, he began utilizing his diverse skills and vast experience to constructively contribute to the KC scene. Mr. Burnett would eventually meet Ahmad Alaadeen and subsequently join the Kansas City jazz legend’s organizations by volunteering his time and services for free while performing a myriad of essential administrative duties, arranging music and also serving as a participating Board Member for the non-profit entity, Alaadeen Enterprises, Inc. from 2002-2007.
Mr. Burnett was subsequently invited to become a part of the artsONE Artists Council. The Artists Council of artsONE is comprised of well known and respected local Kansas City Jazz and Blues artists. In December 2007, Chris Burnett, along with New York-based artists, Erica Lindsay and Sumi Tonooka, co-founded Artists Recording Collective - an American label brand that serves as a dynamic and multi-dimensional platform to present the works and services of a select roster of artists. Subsequently, Artists Recording Collective formally launched its first commercial CD recording release in early 2008 to critical acclaim and National Radio Chart success.
Most recently, he was personally invited by Mr. Leon A. Brady to become involved with Kansas City Youth Jazz, Inc. where Mr. Burnett primarily serves as one of the Sectional Instructors and a member of the KCYJ Advisory Board.

DEAR FRIEND! Welcome to my new sort of texts “Sidewalk talking”(my blog) All of us are performer on the sidewalk Sometime we are acters Showing our good..and bad mind We don’t know if we have a public or not Sometime it is good, sometimes…not so good WITH SMILE GÖRAN
When she goes swimming She's been known to beach whales And that'll be your ending If you go following that tail Picture perfect She works it Is she worth it? She'll jerk ya Baby's only reel on the surface
In a past life that woman was a hammerhead shark The only thing changed is her form And that sexy bluffing voice Make sure you leave your headlights on She likes hunting in the dark Know that you're better off Dread Getting your locks caught in a fan Then letting her run her fingers Through your hair, man Ban the thought She's picture perfect She works it Is she worth it? She'll jerk ya Baby's only reel on the surface
Team Peace has her listed as a major cause Of waves on the sea Her temper's the perfect storm When she speaks, men don't think Just rush who ever she says causes her harm Her head games are too... Deep They'll crush ya before you get to the bottom of her See? She's picture perfect She works it Is she worth it? She'll jerk ya Baby's only reel on the surface
I once said to a zoo keeper "Never put your monkey where your mouth is" He practically threw a fit I covered my laugh and stayed hidden
When I was a kid I never really fit in But got comfortable standing outside of inner circles That were motioning me in
But I liked the taste of "Ah Ah Honey" To much to sell out my monkey jokes Getting excitement from writing in ways others don't comprehend I've pledged "Boo love" to my pen So when I say
"Never hire a lawyer who has no regrets about their turrets" Maybe you'll understand Having fun creating is not my plan It's my "Way King Life"
