Kenny Burrell – Blue Lights: Volume 1 (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Burrell was one of the rare guitarists who fit naturally into the hard bop idiom without ever sounding like he was straining toward it, and this 1958 session captures exactly why Blue Note kept calling on him. With Bobby Timmons and Art Blakey anchoring the rhythm and a front line deep with Blue Note regulars, the loose, after-hours feel here is anything but accidental. Kevin Gray's all-analog mono transfer from the original tapes is the way this music was meant to be heard.
In 1958, guitarist Kenny Burrell assembled an impressive lineup with Louis Smith, Junior Cook, Tina Brooks, Duke Jordan, Bobby Timmons, Sam Jones, and Art Blakey to record Blue Lights, a high-quality blowing session of blues, ballads and standards that produced two stellar volumes. The cover features an illustration by soon-to-be famed artist Andy Warhol. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is mono, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
