Midnight Blue ReviewAs far as jazz guitar on Blue Note records goes, there are two names you must know: Grant Green and Kenny Burrell. And while Grant's discography for Blue Note is humungous, Kenny did much of his recording as a sideman. But the numbers are all irrelevant when you listen to this masterpiece -- seven tunes that reach deep, deep into the blues and achieve that wonderfully lazy, after hours groove.
The performances are all classic, from the Latin groove of "Chitlins con Carne", to the brisk swing of the title track, to the solo guitar of "Soul Lament". Stanley Turrentine's soulful saxophone playing is among his finest, and the bass/drums/conga rhythm section is impeccable at setting up a groove. And the leader provides tasty guitar playing that mixes bebop lines and bluesy feeling perfectly. As far as hearing some classic jazz guitar, Midnight Blue and Grant Green's Idle Moments album are a perfect start.Midnight Blue OverviewThe 1963 classic highlighted by the killer title track and Chitlins con Carne . This edition contains extra photos and two bonus cuts: Kenny's Sound and K Twist .

So Much Guitar ReviewThis was originally released on the Riverside label (RLP-9382), and has been reissued in compact disc form as part of Fantasy Records OJC series. This reissue features the original 8 tracks, no bonus tracks, and clocks in at just under 40 minutes of music.
I have a few other Montgomery discs, and was never especially impressed with them. They seemed to be mostly loungy covers of classics, with no real bite. A reviewer in the Tower Records house organ "Pulse!" mentioned that Montgomery recorded both some very excellent discs, as well as some real slop. Figuring I'd bought the wrong discs before, I took his sug- gestion and picked up this disc. (His first suggestion, "Far Wes" was out of stock, as was his third, "The Incredible Jazz Guitar".)
And he was absolutely right. The tracks on this disc are only a faint reminder of the mushy cocktail jazz I heard on the other discs. The upbeat tracks like Montgomery's original "Twisted Blues" and his version of Duke Ellington's "Cotton Tail" really move (with the help of the rhythms of Ron Carter/bass, Lex Humphries/drums and Ray Barreto/congas), and Montgomery's solo playing is quite impressive. Hank Jones piano adds an excellent overall flavor. Slower tracks such as "I Wish I Knew" have a relaxed, bluesy sound, without becoming background music.So Much Guitar Overview
