One of the best soul-jazz guitarists of the 1950s and '60s, Kenny Burrell's cool-toned bop technique graced several important Blue Note records of the era. This excellent 14-track compilation, selected by the artist himself, culls the best of that work, and amounts to a shining portrait of Burrell's accomplishments. Groove classics like "Chitlins Con Carne" are here, as are moody takes on standards ("But Not For Me"). Burrell's accompanists include the likes of Herbie Hancock, Ray Barretto, Art Blakey, Jimmy Smith, and Paul Chambers, making for a veritable Blue Note all-star team. Burrell's liner notes also give the whole package a nice personal touch.
