Guitarist Kenny Burrell debuted on Blue Note in 1956 and over the following 7 years made a series of excellent albums that culminated with his masterwork, Midnight Blue. Recorded in 1963, the album waded deep into the blues, conjuring an alluring late-night vibe with a soulful cast including Stanley Turrentine on tenor sax, Major Holley, Jr. on bass, Bill English on drums, and Ray Barretto on congas. Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered from the original tapes on 180-gram LP.
