Kenny Burrell – Ode to 52nd Street

A sophisticated 1967 session from jazz guitar master Kenny Burrell, featuring Richard Evans’ ambitious four-part Suite for Guitar and Orchestra. The second side moves through soulful selections including “I Want My Baby Back,” “Con Alma,” “Soulero,” “Wild Is the Wind” and “Blues Fuse.” A distinctive orchestral entry in Burrell’s catalog with his signature warm, blues-rooted guitar at the center.
