Chris Burnett (born Christopher LeRoy Burnett on November 2, 1955) is an American saxophone player, composer, veteran of US military jazz bands and band leader. Born in Olathe, Kansas, Burnett’s family moved relatively frequently during his early childhood due to his father being a member of the active US military ser- vice. His sibling family lived at places such as: France, Michigan, and Colorado prior to settling permanently back home in the Kansas City metro area. His brother, Richie Pratt (March 11, 1943 – February 12, 2015), who was also a musician (Lionel Hampton, Junior Mance, Aretha Franklin, New York Jazz Quartet, Broadway, films, studios ...), and the eldest sibling in his family con- tinually served as a significant professional role model and mentor. 1 Formative years ing from a military family, he was successful in meeting Burnett was first exposed to music at an early age through the demands required of service as a uniformed musi- the piano by his mother (Violet Lorraine Burnett), and cian as well.

In the flow, you can hear callbacks to some of the great free-jazz innovators - the wide-ranging tonality of Tony Williams's ride playing, the "multi-directionalism" of Rashied Ali - seam- lessly incorporated into a style that feels individual but also bigger than just him, as though he's holding the kite strings while greater forces are at work. Fraser's movement from dull clanging death knells to thumping snare drum to cascading cymbal action is breathtaking, a constant shape-shifting that never feels rootless or contrived, the perfect balance between total control and complete surrender.
