Review
The definitive
jazz guitar album, with a hint of blues. The sounds
of Burrell's guitar is calm, cool and bluesy. The trick
is that Burrell never tries to hurry the music, unlike
Herb Ellis. His sax player Stanley Turrentine, perhaps
not the most skillful player, knows how to use the instrument
to his fair advantage. The two of them create some unforgettably
bluesy moments in all of jazz's history. The title song
"Midnight Blue" is a good song in itself.
The coolest of the cool is of course "Chitlins
Con Carne." If you play this CD at a late night
party where everyone is in the laidback mood, you have
be coined a person of "great taste."
