Guitarist Kenny Burrell has been performing for 60 years.  LA Times has a
profile of him at age 80.  I send the link instead of copying the entire
article-

His photo would be lost and it would be redundant for those on the list who
elect not to read it.

 

Burrell was a participant in the Pensacola JazzFest in late 90s.  Besides
being a great guitarist, he is an articulate, cultured gentleman.  Wishing
him a wonderful  continuing career.
