Product Description
Amazon.ca
Kenny Burrell's music is a wonderful blend of elegance and conviction, musical inventiveness and thoughtful restraint. On this 1967 session, the guitarist is joined by regular associates--tenorist Stanley Turrentine, conga drummer Ray Barretto, bassist Major Holley, and drummer Bill English--and together they concentrate on the subtlest and deepest hues of the blues, combining strong rhythmic grooves with a feeling of late-night reflection. There's never a misstep or a superfluous note, from the funky Latin hit "Chitlins Con Carne" to Burrell's deeply felt solo "Soul Lament" and the concentrated swing of "Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good to You." The result is a masterpiece, and the 24-bit remastering by the original engineer, Rudy Van Gelder, adds to the spaciousness and intimacy that have always been hallmarks of the session. --Stuart Broomer

An absolutely incredible album. Every tune is a perfect blend of a causual, cool, smokey nightclub feel and a profound monument to the blues. The title captures the spirit and sound of this gentle yet intense, carefully-crafted hardbop classic. Buy it, buy it, buy it! You will be addicted to this sound.

This is a perfect marriage of Jazz and Blues music. While some "classic" albums are considered such more because of a single performance or two rather than the whole (i.e. Grant Green's excellent "Idle Moments"), there is not a weak track on this CD...even with the reissiue bonus tracks. Kenny Burrell simply does not play a wasted note, he fills it up in all the right places. The CD flows from the first cut to the last, the whole greater than the fantastic sum of it's parts. This would be a welcome addition to most any CD collection. Perfect for dinner/cocktail parties or headphone listening, music does not get much better than this.

This album is definitely one of my "desert island" favorites. Along with "Kind of Blue" and "Maiden Voyage" this album rates as one of my all time "best" Jazz album. Kenny Burrell's playing is top notch, fantastic improvisation, with a "bluesy" feel. What is really great about Kenny is his ability to stick to the melody and still add his own flavour. He never loses sight of the song, sometime Jazz improv goes too far and the melody gets lost in an artists rendition. This is Kenny's best recording, followed by "Blue Bash" and his playing on Jimmy Smith's album "Midnight Special".
This CD is a must when compiling a Jazz library, right up there with "Kind of Blue".

Jazzy Blues or Bluesy Jazz? Who Cares?! Buy It!
You'll never go back to silly, boring, 3-chord blues after hearing what Kenny Burrell can do. None of the songs here are really traditional blues at all, but there is a relaxed... Read more

Good but no match for his 1969 "Asphalt Canuon Suite" LP
Yes, this is a great cd, esp. the Midnight Blue track. The solo work on Kenny's Soul Lament is also great. Read more
