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