A Night at the Vanguard. Complete Edition (Bonus Track Version)
by Scott Yanow For this CD reissue (which adds versions of "I Can't See for Lookin'" and "Cheek to Cheek" to the original Chess LP), guitarist Kenny Burrell is heard in a sparse trio setting with bassist Richard Davis and drummer Roy Haynes. The focus is almost exclusively on Burrell, who is tasteful, swinging and melodically creative on such numbers as "Will You Still Be Mine," Erroll Garner's "Trio," "Broadway" and Thelonious Monk's "Well You Needn't."
