Burrell Kenny: Midnight Blue DLX

LP Record Released in 1963, Midnight Blue is considered one of the most compelling recordings of Kenny Burrell's long and impressive career. With Stanley Turrentine's saxophone lending a heady dose of soul to every note, and Ray Barretto's congas giving the blues-infused music a Latin flavour, Burrell sets the mood and can be heard at his most exciting and extroverted. His soulful playing on tracks like "Chitlins Con Carne", "Saturday Night Blues" and "Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You" is deeply emotive, showing exactly why both B.B. King and Duke Ellington often cited Kenny Burrell as their favourite guitarist.
