Rough Trade Essential

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.

Back In Stock

Guitarist Kenny Burrell debuted on Blue Note Records in 1956 and over the following 7 years made a series of excellent albums for the label that culminated with his masterwork Midnight Blue. Recorded in 1963, the album waded deep into the blues, conjuring an alluring late-night vibe with a profoundly soulful cast including tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, bassist Major Holley, Jr., drummer Bill English, and Ray Barretto on congas. Burrell originals including “Chitlins con Carne,” “Midnight Blue,” “Saturday Night Blues,” and the stunning solo guitar piece “Soul Lament” set the tone for this timeless classic adorned by one of the all-time great Reid Miles cover designs.

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
