Guitarist Kenny Burrell debuted on Blue Note in 1956 and throughout the following seven 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. Alfred Lion considered this his favorite production and well he should have. Without piano, Burrell, Stanley Turrentine and company get a clean open sound and a deep groove on such now classic compositions as the title tune and "Chitlins Con Carne," which has become a blues band staple.
Originally released in 1963.
