Kenny Burrell is a genre-defining guitarist whose low-volume fret board excursions have hushed large crowds in noisy nightclubs for over five decades. To say Burrell is a great jazz guitarist is like saying Charlie Parker played excellent alto sax. The favorite guitarist of musical legends ranging from Duke Ellington, George Benson and Dizzy Gillespie to B.B. King and Jimi Hendrix, Kenny Burrell is revered today as an artist whose recent live and recorded appearances have become events of epic proportions. Tracked for the Argo label in 1959, Burrell's A Night at the Vanguard is a prime example of the masterful art of this Detroit native. Accompanied by a superb rhythm section of bassist Richard Davis and Roy Haynes on drums, Burrell weaves his magic before a spellbound Village Vanguard crowd.
