    That rare pianist who combines jazz technique with a genuine love for folk music. The Philadelphia Weekly said, "Pianist extraordinaire John R. Burr has the most sparkling style since former Allman Brother-turned-Rolling Stone hired hand Chuck Leavell." Discology wrote, "John R. Burr ranks with the best of the elegant jazzers." He started out as a child prodigy drummer; in high school his focus turned to the keyboard. He then discovered that there were too many drummers to compete with and the piano became his instrument of choice. After years of touring with such artists as Maria Muldaur, The Alison Brown Quartet, Paul McCandless, Kenny Rankin, Robben Ford (touring and recording), Michael Manring and Kathy Kallick and recognition including a feature spot on Windham Hill's Piano Sampler II, Burr is stepping out with his first solo album, Piedmont Avenue. His playing is as likely to be inspired by James Taylor or Doctor John as by Oscar Peterson or the Yellowjackets although he says it is his love of folk music that has inuenced him most. His musical diversity has enabled him to tour and record with a variety of artists and has made him the ideal pianist for the ground breaking folk/jazz group, The Alison Brown Quartet.
