Smooth, cool, yet musically impressive late-'50s date (also released as
Kenny Burrell) that has both blowing session fervor and soulful undergirding.
Burrell's fluid guitar voicings and
Cecil Payne's robust baritone make nice partners, while
Tommy Flanagan adds his usual sparkling piano riffs and solos, and bassist
Doug Watkins teams with
Elvin Jones, who shows he can drive a date without dominating things on drums.
