	Kenny Burrell Soul Call by Dave Glackin
		Kenny Burrell's signature purity, fluidity, and dexterity are captured perfectly on this disk.

	CD Review of Kenny Burrell - Blue Muse on Concord Records @ jazzreview.com
		Throughout his career, Kenny Burrell has amassed 96 of his own recordings as a leader, not to mention hundreds on which he was a backup musician.
		Moreover, Burrell seems to sing those tunes with a special emotional relevance, such as his paean to his wife, Katherine, on “Then I Met You,” or the melancholy nature of Duke Ellington’s “Solitude.” Like his guitar playing, Burrell’s voice has a calming effect as he burnished Kenny Dorham’s “Blue Bossa” with a warm glow.
		Through understatement and the straightforward regard for the harmonic possibilities of each tune, Burrell continues to infuse listeners with the qualifies of grace and clarity that have distinguished his playing throughout almost 50 years of landmark recordings.

		Kenny has other great records and recordings like Midnight Blue, Guitar Forms, Ellington Is Forever and the album he did with John Coltrane are classics but even they can't top this one.
		Burrell has the blues feeling and deep rhythm combined with harmonic sophistication and the ability to set a mood with his lyricism...
		Kenny is a modest person..like most jazz artists, they tend to shun flamboyance, opting instead for geniune FEEL and creating an atmosphere--speaking their thoughts through their instrument.

	Kenny Burrell - Moten Swing & Blue Muse - Jazzmatazz review
		In 1960, Kenny Burrell was signed to Columbia Records.
		The sessions ended up staying in the can for over twenty years—nine tracks were released in 1983 on the LP "Bluesin' Around" and the complete sessions (thirteen tunes plus five alternate takes) have been released by Euphoria in 2002 as Moten Swing (part of their interesting set of jazz guitar reissues).
		Forty years after recording the sessions for Moten Swing, guitarist Kenny Burrell is still performing and recording and has a new CD out on Concord Jazz, Blue Muse.

	Prestige Profiles Vol. 7: Kenny Burrell
		For many folks, Kenny Burrell is the epitome of the jazz guitarist, and his work is judged to be heavily influential on later guitarists—as influential as Wes Montgomery, who some consider to be the modern model for jazz guitar.
		But Montgomery is widely cited as declaring that Burrell influenced him, and there’s no denying the light, sophisticated approach that Burrell brings to the instrument.
		Burrell spent quite a while on Prestige—from 1956 to 1963, and the material here covers that territory ably, with selections from a number of Burrell releases: 2 Guitars, Bluesy Burrell, Kenny Burrell, Brother Jack McDuff/Somethin’ Slick, Kenny Burrell and John Coltrane, All Night Long, The Cats, All Day Long.

		Kenny Burrell's music is a wonderful blend of elegance and conviction, musical inventiveness and thoughtful restraint.

		So few recordings actually achieve what Kenny Burrell does here which is deliver a group of very distinct, individually excellent pieces that are all quite interesting on their own, but stunning in their totality.

		A member of a musical family, Kenny Burrell began playing guitar at the age of 12.
		Burrell performs most frequently in a trio with a double bass player and a drummer.
		Burrell's playing is in the bop style, but is more conservative than that of some of his colleagues, for he favors simple, often singable, melodic lines rather than flights of virtuosity.

		Kenny Burrell's guitar-playing sounds a lot like Wes Montgomery, who didn't make a splash in the jazz world until two years after this recording date.
		One thing that bothers me a bit is that Burrell does not seem to comp for any of Trane's solos except when they play the duet "Why was I born?" I don't know why Trane never worked with guitarists.
		Recorded when both Burrell and Coltrane were on the rise, it is simply beautiful and gives some hint to the greatness to come from Coltrane (it was recorded when he was still playing with Miles Davis).

		Leader Kenny Burrell's playing is much more in line with the Moodsville groove.
		Unlike Hawkins, Burrell's subdued contribution is made to measure for this date.
		This is where Burrell gets a chance to cook in his classic hard bop style, along with the fine alto player Leo Wright.

	Midnight Blue: The Hard Bop Homepage
		That's the way Kenny Burrell felt when he talked with Alfred Lion about the idea for the album.
		Kenny decided that there would be no need for a piano on this occasion; not that he believes exclusively in pianoless rhythm sections as such, but the sound just wasn't required for his concept of the groove he wanted to establish.
		Both Stanley and Kenny offer in this jazz waltz some of their most inspired moments of the whole album; I found myself feflecting how sad it is that because of the prejudices of those days against anything but four-four time, men like Charlie Christian and Chu Berry never got to waltz the blues.

	Kenny Burrell \| Lucky So And So
		Kenny Burrell listeners' appetites never will be sated because his playing is of such a quality that new facets can be discovered with every listening.
		Burrell's guitar style is so rooted in the vocal tradition—what with its attention to the phrasing of unspoken words and the development of mini-dramas within a song—that his playing must be guided by singer's awareness of meaning.
		Burrell says in the liner notes that he feels lucky to have been able to carve out a career by doing what he loves.

		Burrell was a highly respected sideman, able to fit seamlessly into any context, who also recorded sturdy sessions as a leader.
		Coltrane and Burrell frequently trade off the first solo chair, never hogging the spotlight, and on “Big Paul” the rhythm section is allowed to navigate the changes for a few minutes while the two leads sit out.
		Burrell, who plays with more of an edge than other guitarists of the era, pulls multiple riffs out of his bag of tricks.

		Tommy Flanagan and Doug Watkins are well chosen confreres, sharing Burrell's taste for a down-home, understated approach to the bop vocabulary, and Elvin Jones' brushwork is the low blue flame underneath it all.
		Burrell frames the head chord-melody style in conjunction with Payne on Bud Powell's "Strictly Confidential," and takes on the set's ballad, "All of You" as a quartet before bringing Payne back for "Perception," another midtempo bop excursion.
		Throughout, Burrell is a graceful leader and an articulate soloist, giving room to his sidemen in creative head arrangements, and calling tempos that swing hard without sounding forced.

	Review - Kenny Burrell: Moten Swing! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		What possessed Burrell and producer John Hammond to make the guitarist's first Columbia release a vocal album is a mystery, but while it was considered an artistic success, it wasn't what the jazz record buying public wanted from the then-reigning Downbeat Guitarist Of The Year.
		For fans of Burrell's cool-toned bop guitar work this disc is long overdue.
		It's Kenny Burrell at the peak of his powers along with some of the best horn and rhythm players in the business, and it's one you should hear.

	Review - Kenny Burrell: Lucky So And So (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Burrell adds his own vocal talents to four tracks on this disc, and while I wouldn't advise him to permanently lay his axe aside in favor of a microphone, he sings just fine, including a convincing bit of scat on "Squeeze Me," one of a trio of Ellington compositions included.
		Burrell is the front man for a quartet that includes Onaje Allan Gumbs (keyboards), Rufus Reid (bass) and Akira Tana (drums), and all turn in the quality performances you'd expect.
		Outside of the vocal contributions, there's not a lot of new ground explored here, but listening to Kenny Burrell cover familiar territory is like visiting favorite relatives in the old home town.

		While few fans of guitarist Kenny Burrell would claim that he has been an innovator, most would point to his solid creativity, strongly bluesy rhythm feel and the fact that he has worked with most of the giants of the soulful hard-bop era dominated by the Blue Note and Prestige labels.
		Burrell never achieved the popularity of George Benson or Wes Montgomery.
		His best Blue Note efforts include Blue Lights and Midnight Blue, while his Kenny Burrell and John Coltrane on Prestige is also recommended, along with his Verve collaboration with arranger Evans, Guitar Forms.
