{"product_id":"kenny-burrell-midnight-blue-uk-import","title":"Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eKenny Burrell's Midnight Blue is the sound of jazz guitar after dark, a smoky, blues-soaked Blue Note classic presented here as a UK import pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded in 1963 at Rudy Van Gelder's studio with Alfred Lion producing, the album found Burrell leading a lean, piano-free group that gave his guitar all the space it needed. Stanley Turrentine's robust tenor saxophone, Major Holley's bass, Bill English's drums and Ray Barretto's congas create a groove that is loose, earthy and endlessly cool. It became one of the defining guitar records in the Blue Note catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChitlins Con Carne sets the mood with a slinky shuffle that blues guitarists have borrowed ever since, Stevie Ray Vaughan among them. The title track glides at an unhurried late-night tempo, while Wavy Gravy and Mule keep the conversation between guitar and saxophone relaxed and playful. Soul Lament strips everything back to Burrell alone, a short, aching solo performance that shows off his gorgeous tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGee Baby, Ain't I Good to You and Saturday Night Blues round out a record steeped in the blues from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone building a jazz collection, Midnight Blue is an essential stop, warm enough for newcomers and endlessly rewarding for seasoned listeners who know every note.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57269569847601,"sku":"889397218812","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Kenny_Burrell-Midnight_Blue.jpg?v=1794552814","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/kenny-burrell-midnight-blue-uk-import","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
