Despite its title, this LP was actually guitarist
Kenny Burrell's second Blue Note album, although the first to be released. Teamed with pianist
Tommy Flanagan, bassist
Paul Chambers, drummer
Kenny Clarke and the conga of
Candido,
Burrell displays what was already an immediately recognizable tone. At 24,
Burrell had quickly emerged to become one of the top bop guitarists of the era, and he is in particularly excellent form on "This Time the Dreams on Me," "Weaver of Dreams" and "Delilah." A bonus of this set is a percussion duo by
Clarke and
Candido on "Rhythmorama." Enjoyable music. ~ Scott Yanow
