This epic two-disc collection gathers that first session and two others from the same year. Burrell displays all the full-bodied, soulful swing for which he would become legendary, and a skillful hand at both standards and his own original tunes. These early sessions show a fully formed stylist who would soon take the jazz world by storm with his smooth, clear sound and unlimited creative virtuosity.\u003cbr\u003eNo one session stands out above the rest, although Burrell's debut, covering all of Disc One, has a special energy. Disc Two, however, is stimulating in its pairing of Burrell in two sessions with either Frank Foster or Hank Mobley. Kenny Burrell's first recorded chapter is a stellar beginning.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42088951251109,"sku":"602577519987","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/d716035fa2416e762f7e07181879d659.jpg?v=1777651213","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-au\/products\/introducing-kenny-burrell-blue-note-tone-poet-series","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
