Kenny Burrell has been a central figure in jazz since he moved to New York in 1957. Like other members of his Detroit jazz clan - Tommy Flanagan, Pepper Adams, Thad and Elvin Jones, Billy Mitchell, Barry Harris - Burrell had an instinct for the essentials: blues feeling and deep rhythm. He was also noted for harmonic sophistication and the ability to set a mood with his lyricism. In an age of sound-alike guitarists, Burrell is immediately identifiable, one of the major guitar influences of the second half of the 20th century. All of his qualities are on display in this 1972 session. Addressing a superior collection of songs, he receives superb support from pianists Richard Wyands, bassist Reggie Johnson, and drummer Lenny McBrowne. Joe Sample and Paul Humphrey take over the piano and drum chairs for a memorable "'Round Midnight." Burrell offers an unaccompanied version of "Blues in the Night" that emphasizes the "Blues" in Harold Arlen's great ballad.

This is a typically tasteful Kenny Burrell record (reissued on CD) with the guitarist mostly emphasizing ballads. Five of the seven songs (which include "Make Someone Happy," "Since I Fell for You" and the theme from "A Streetcar Named Desire") find Burrell assisted by pianist Richard Wyands (who also played electric piano), bassist Reggie Johnson and drummer Lenny McBrowne. "'Round Midnight" is played by Burrell with pianist Joe Sample, bassist Johnson and drummer Paul Humphrey while "Blues in the Night" is an unaccompanied guitar solo. Although the music overall is well-played, no real sparks fly and the results often border on being sleepy. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Kenny Burrell
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jul 31, 1931 in Detroit, MI
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Ballads, Bop, Cool, Hard Bop, Mainstream Jazz, Soul-Jazz
Kenny Burrell has been a very consistent guitarist throughout his career. Cool-toned and playing in an unchanging style based in bop, Burrell has always been the epitome of good taste and solid swing. Duke Ellington's favorite guitarist (though he never actually recorded with him), Burrell started playing guitar when he was 12, and he debuted on records with Dizzy Gillespie in 1951. Part of the fertile Detroit jazz scene of the early '50s, Burrell moved to New York in 1956. Highly in demand from the start, Burrell appeared on a countless number of records as a leader and as a sideman. Among his more notable associations were dates with Stan Getz, Billie Holiday, Milt Jackson, John Coltrane, Gil Evans, Sonny Rollins, Quincy Jones, Stanley Turrentine, and Jimmy Smith. Starting in the early '70s, Burrell began leading seminars and teaching, often focusing on Duke Ellington's music. He toured with the Phillip Morris Superband during 1985-1986, and led three-guitar quintets, but generally Kenny Burrell plays at the head of a trio/quartet.
