Standing not quite five-foot-two\, he’s an oversize talent who can scat with the harmonic daring and rhythmic command of a bebop saxophonist\, croon with the simmering soul of Donny Hathaway\, and interpret standards with such intelligence and emotional commitment it’s like Rodgers and Hart wrote “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was” with him in mind.”- Andrew Gilbert\, eastbayexpress.com \nPianist John R. Burr combines a jazzy style with a love of folk music and singer-songwriters\, and has lent his talents to recordings by the Alison Brown Quartet and Paul McCandless\, among others.
