A very striking album – one of Ray Bryant's most noteworthy of the time!

Prestige, 1957. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Sublime late 50s hardbop – recorded in the best Prestige blowing session mode!

Kenny Burrell at his best – lean, mean, playing in a stripped down session that he rarely matched in later years!

Out Of This World ... LP Prestige, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A great little album by Burrell – one that has Ray Barretto on most cuts, giving the album a similar Latiny feel to his classic Midnight Blue album on Blue Note. The best part, though, is Coleman Hawkins, who plays tenor on 4 of the album's 7 tracks – 2 of which are bossa-tinged ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Kenny Burrell gets the soul call from Prestige Records – the result is one of his grooviest albums of the 60s!
