The commercial recording was released on the Artists Recording Collective (ARC) label and available at the top music stores like: iTunes, Amazon Music, Google Play and CD Baby. STUDIO RECORDING NOTES The provided MP3 Audio Clip contains an excerpt of the commercial recording and features: Christopher Burnett – alto saxophone/composition; Roger Wilder – piano; Jeff Harshbarger – bass; Clarence Smith – drums; with Terri Anderson Burnett and Freda Proctor – flutes. The final mastering and mix by Craig Rettmer at C.R. Sound in Kansas City is truly amazing. ABOUT THE COMPOSER How are jazz careers made? Many have remarked on the big historical shift: musicians used to apprentice on the road with masters and learn the language firsthand, but those cultural conditions are fading, and the bandstand has been replaced by the graduate degree. There’s truth in that narrative, and yet it fails to account for the full variety of paths that players are taking as they strive to find their voice in this music.For alto saxophonist Christopher Burnett, the journey involved spending 22 years as a musician in the U.S. Army. He left the service in 1996 - I’ve been out nearly as long as I was in, he says - and resettled in 2001 in his native Kansas City metropolitan area. Two years earlier, in 1999, he had released his debut recording, Time Flies, and in 2008 he followed up with Theme Music, both on the Artists Recording Collective (ARC) label that he cofounded with saxophonist Erica Lindsay and pianist Sumi Tonooka. Now at age 58, Burnett reaches another level of achievement with Firebird, showcasing a fine working quartet and a set of compositions rich in beauty, subtlety and sophistication. There’s a remarkable lyrical ease and harmonic savvy in the compositions that make up Firebird, not least of all on the title track with its layered flutes and Latin-tinged rhythmic feel. Burnett’s legato eloquence and depth of expression on the slow 4/4 Ballad for An Optimist is another highlight. His choice of the inspired, metrically shifting A Risk I Take, by French horn virtuoso and colleague Mark Taylor, tells us much about his refined taste and interpretive abilities.

Just Friends is a jazz standard composed by John Klenner with lyrics by Sam M. Lewis. It was first recorded in 1931 by Red McKenzie and his Orchestra, and has since become a beloved classic in the jazz world. The song's catchy melody and playful lyrics have made it a popular choice for jazz musicians and singers over the years.

The song is often played at a moderate tempo, and features a swinging, upbeat rhythm that is typical of the jazz music of the time. The melody is catchy and memorable, with its playful, syncopated phrasing and use of chromaticism. The lyrics tell the story of a couple who have decided to end their romantic relationship but remain friends, with lines like Just friends, lovers no more, just friends, but not like before.

Over the years, Just Friends has been covered by many jazz greats, including Chet Baker, Charlie Parker, and Billie Holiday. Each artist brings their own unique interpretation to the song, showcasing their individual improvisational skills and musicality. The song has also been used in several films and television shows, cementing its place in popular culture.

Despite its popularity, Just Friends remains a challenging piece to play, requiring both technical proficiency and a deep understanding of the nuances of jazz music. Its enduring appeal is a testament to the power of great songwriting, and to the lasting impact of jazz music on popular culture.
