Customer Reviews of The Jazz Channel Presents Kenny Rankin (BET on Jazz)
What a voice - great performance! I've been following Kenny Rankin for 30 years waiting for him to hit the big time, commercially. Well, it probably will never happen. Not through any fault of this concert. This is really good. The best I've ever heard (or seen) him. Really shows off his vocal abilities. Filmed before a small audience, in a way it makes a more intimate setting. Like many of the jazz channel productions, sound guality is excellent (dts), ditto on video quality. Camera work is not terribly exciting. And I would have made just a few changes in song selection. But minor quibbling here - this is one of the best out there!
He has The Voice, period.
Kenny Rankin brings to mind James Taylor, with guitar chops. Frankly, his voice is so effortless and beautiful, not much else matters.
I disagree with the other reviewers that this DVD is so well recorded. The guitar sounds dead and the string quartet is too loud. But it does not matter! He has THE voice, in the same way that Sarah Vaughan and Eva Cassidy did. Effortless. Perfect.
Frankly, I think a lot of this was lost on the BET audience. (They're probably still angry about having to sit through Kenny G).
Even if you've never heard of Kenny Rankin, if you like people who don't sound there's any effort at all (and he's never had a lesson) pick up this DVD.
Along with James Taylor, Eva Cassidy and a few others Kenny is an American musical treasure.
Kenny Rankin with Great Band
I have been lucky enough to see Rankin many times, the latest being a few months ago.
This DVD is a live concert, pure Rankin.
Great backup band and the interview with him is superb as well.
