Abraham Burton belongs to the pack of Young Lions that has formed around Roy Hargrove, Joshua Redman & Cyrus Chestnut... That is to say, he's one of the New York "newcomers", who many praise for their apparently limitless technical ability and many criticize for sticking so close to their role models that they neglect developing their own sound and personalities as musicians.
In 1994, Burton released his debut LP, "Closest to the Sun", recorded by ENJA. This collection includes a wonderful instrumental version of the Mat Waldron classic "Left Alone" (often sung by Abbey Lincoln), which instantly won over the public. The alto saxophonist, born in 1971 and taught by Jackie McLean, has the potential to develop a unique voice. Come and see if you agree. CH
