About this album

Introducing Kenny Burrell is a striking early statement from one of jazz guitar’s most elegant voices. Issued in 1956, the album set Burrell apart with a fluid tone, blues-rooted swing and an unforced sense of melody that made hard bop feel both relaxed and exacting. Its blend of jazz and blues highlights the guitarist’s knack for shaping lines with vocal-like clarity, while tunes such as “Fugue’n Blues” and “Blues For Skeeter” show how comfortably he could move between sophistication and grit. Widely regarded as an important debut, it helped establish Burrell as a major post-bop player.
