Although he’s been scarce on the region’s stages in the interim, he has been exceedingly prolific in the worlds of music and film, collaborating with everyone from Elton John and John Mellencamp to Sara Bareilles and Diana Krall. Seated in a tight semicircle on the cozy Kessler stage, the music being made took flight, soaring into space on the strength of Linden’s impassioned flurry of notes, Mansfield’s tasteful fillips of fiddle and mandolin and Crouch’s rock-solid walking basslines.
“If you wanna know what’s great about America, listen to its music,” he said. “The promise of America is realized in our music. We’ve listened to each other and made harmony. The idea that America is a melting pot — it actually exists in our music.”The Criminal Under My Own Hat As Burnett and his bandmates unfurled one dazzling tune after another, the interplay between the men was often breathtaking. Linden, in particular, seemed to reach another level in the second set, and the rapt silence felt like a manifestation of Burnett’s fervent wish, uttered not long after he appeared on stage.Unspoken, of course, was the sense that this could, potentially, be Burnett’s last turn on a stage anywhere near his hometown.
