Kenny Burrell is an American jazz guitarist, born on July 31, 1931 in Detroit, Michigan. With his distinctive style and soulful playing, he has become one of the most influential figures in jazz guitar history.
Burrell's music draws inspiration from a wide range of genres including blues, bebop, and Latin rhythms. His melodic improvisations and smooth phrasing have captivated audiences for decades.
Often compared to legendary artists such as Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, and Barney Kessel, Burrell has collaborated with renowned performers like *Jimmy Smith*, *Tal Farlow*, and *Horace Silver*. His discography includes numerous acclaimed albums that showcase his virtuosity and musical versatility.

Blue Note is a record label that has made a significant impact in the jazz genre. Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis, Blue Note focused on traditional jazz and swing recordings, producing timeless classics. In the 1950s, it became one of the first labels to feature bop musicians. After being acquired by *Universal Music Group* in 1965, Blue Note expanded its repertoire to include more commercially-oriented music like jazz-fusion. Throughout the years, Blue Note underwent various changes in ownership and reissue programs but continued to release new recordings and previously unreleased material.

In 1982, Blue Note catalog reissues began appearing on *United Artists Records*, which was owned by Michael Cuscuna who oversaw the UA-era reissue program. The label was later relaunched as part of *Capitol-EMI's* subsidiary *Manhattan Records* in 1985. It was during this time that Blue Note released key albums from its history and introduced previously unissued material.

In 1989, Blue Note became the division under which all of Capitol-EMI's jazz activities were organized. However, two years later, *Manhattan Records* was revived for smooth jazz and pop-jazz releases while Blue Note continued to thrive as a prominent label within Capitol-EMI's roster.
