KENNY BURRELL Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Kenny Burrell's Midnight Blue is one of the jazz great's most celebrated albums. It has been reissued several times over the years but remains popular and in demand, which is why it now arrive son CD courtesy of Universal Japan. The title track sets the mood with its laid-back groove and smoky atmosphere, while tracks like 'Chitlins Con Carne' showcase Burrell's soulful phrasing and melodic invention. Backed by a stellar ensemble including Stanley Turrentine on tenor saxophone, the album exudes elegance and cool sophistication. In short, jazz guitar mastery at its finest.
