Guitar Master Kenny Burrell: "Midnight Blue"

As a way of relaxing after a busy Jazz Festival weekend The Jazz Show presents a low-keyed bluesy album that has always been a favourite among Blue Note Records fans. Master guitarist Kenny Burrell made this album in the sympathetic company of tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine and Burrell and Turrentine are perfect fits. There are 9 tunes on the album and Burrell wrote 7 of them. The other two are by bassist Major Holley called "Mule" (Holley's nickname) and the bluesy standard by Redman and Razaf called "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You" This relaxed and easy-listening album is the real deal and fine music. Burrell and Turrentine are accompanied by the aforementioned Major Holley on bass, drummer Bill English and conguero Ray Barretto. A perfect band for this album called "Midnight Blue".
