Description
The first bend on Chitlins Con Carne hangs for a heartbeat, then Stanley Turrentine slides in like a late guest. Kenny Burrell’s Midnight Blue (LP) is the cool, smoky side of Blue Note, with Ray Barretto’s congas pattering underneath and Major Holley keeping the shuffle honest. Recorded at Van Gelder with Alfred Lion at the helm, it’s a masterclass in restraint that still swings. Spin Midnight Blue and clock the way the riff coils and relaxes, or how Soul Lament leaves just enough air between chords to make time stretch. Mule has that sly call-and-response between Burrell and Turrentine that makes small-room jazz feel conversational. On Chitlins Con Carne, Barretto gives the blues a lilt rather than a stomp. This pressing opens up the space around the quartet, and the low end sits deeper without smearing the groove. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Kenny Burrell records online with us. File it beside Grant Green’s Idle Moments, similar mood but Burrell leans earthier and Turrentine’s tone is huskier. Suits a late drive or a quiet nightcap; it never hurries you. You’ll keep catching small choices, like Bill English’s soft ride accents in Wavy Gravy.
