Cornell Dupree
is an influential R&B/soul jazz guitarist.
He has worked with Donny Hathaway, King Curtis and Steve Gadd, appeared on David Letterman, and written a book on soul and blues guitar: Rhythm and Blues Guitar
ISBN 0-634-00149-3. He is reputedly recorded on 2500 albums.
He started off playing in the Atlantic Records studio band, recording on albums by Aretha Franklin (Aretha Live at Fillmore West
) and King Curtis as a member of Curtis's band "The King Pins".
He grew up with King Curtis in Fort Worth, Texas. He appears on the 1969 Lena Horne & Gábor Szabó recording, and on recordings with Archie Shepp, Grover Washington, Jr., Snooky Young and Miles Davis.
He was a founding memeber of the band Stuff which featured fellow guitarist Eric Gale (who has a somewhat similar playing style), Richard Tee on keyboards, Steve Gadd, Chris Parker on drums, and Gordon Edwards on bass.
Dupree and Richard Tee recorded together on many occasions.
Notable albums include the aforementioned Aretha and King Curtis records, Joe Cocker's Stingray
and Luxury You Can Afford
, and Cornell's solo albums ''Teasin,
Can't Get Through,
Coast to Coast,
Uncle Funky and
Bop 'n' Blues''.
Dupree possesses a unique style that involves double stops and partial chording. His style is sometimes compared to Steve Cropper, both guitarists sounding as if they play rhythm and lead guitar simultaneously.
Dupree uses a Fender "red-knob" Twin reverb and plays a Yamaha signature guitar called the Dupree Super Jam (it used to be a model similar to the SJ-550 HM, but now is closer to a 3-pickup Pacifica with a maple neck).
He played on Brook Benton's "Rainy Night in Georgia" and "Please Send Me Someone to Love", and is featured on 2 tracks of Peter Wolf's (of J. Geils Band fame) critically acclaimed 1998 CD Fools Parade
