Midnight Blue captures Kenny Burrell at his soulful best, blending cool jazz guitar with smokey, blues-infused moods. Supported by jazz greats like Stanley Turrentine on tenor saxophone and Ray Barretto on congas, Burrell crafts an iconic late-night atmosphere, highlighted by standout tracks like "Chitlins Con Carne" and the lush title track. This album is widely celebrated for defining the laid-back groove and elegance of 1960s jazz guitar.
This deluxe gatefold edition features a 2017 remaster and includes two bonus tracks—"K Twist" and "Kenny's Sound"—offering deeper insight into Burrell’s expressive range. Recorded at the legendary Van Gelder Studio and produced by Alfred Lion, Midnight Blue remains essential listening for jazz aficionados and a must-have for anyone eager to experience the timeless interplay of jazz, blues, and understated virtuosity.
