An iconic album and a cornerstone of the jazz guitar repertoire. 'Midnight Blue' is a masterclass in taste, mood, and soulful expression. Foregoing a piano, Burrell creates an intimate, late-night atmosphere, focusing on the elemental power of the blues. The interplay between his elegant, blues-drenched guitar and Stanley Turrentine's smoky tenor saxophone is legendary, making this one of the most beloved and influential jazz recordings of the 1960s.
