This is a typically tasteful
Kenny Burrell record (reissued on CD) with the guitarist mostly emphasizing ballads. Five of the seven songs (which include "Make Someone Happy," "Since I Fell for You" and the theme from "A Streetcar Named Desire") find
Burrell assisted by pianist
Richard Wyands (who also played electric piano), bassist
Reggie Johnson and drummer
Lenny McBrowne. "'Round Midnight" is played by
Burrell with pianist
Joe Sample, bassist
Johnson and drummer
Paul Humphrey while "Blues in the Night" is an unaccompanied guitar solo. Although the music overall is well-played, no real sparks fly and the results often border on being sleepy. ~ Scott Yanow
