Kenny Burrell Trio – A Night At The Vanguard (SHM-SACD single layer)

“A Night At The Vanguard” features recordings of two legendary concerts by Kenny Burrell, which took place on September 16 and 17, 1959, at the renowned New York club – performed by a rousing guitar trio featuring Richard Davis on bass and Roy Haynes on drums. The album is now considered a masterpiece that guitar fans should definitely listen to in order to fully appreciate Burrell’s bluesy and vocal-style playing.

AllMusic rated the album 4½ stars, and reviewer Michael Erlewine described it as follows: “A thoroughly solid work and a highly recommended recording – here Burrell and his extraordinary trio are shown very close to, if not in the midst of, their prime and in their element.”

To mark the 70th anniversary of Verve Records, Universal Music Japan is releasing a new series presenting the legendary catalog of the renowned label in impressively mastered, high-resolution sound quality. The limited edition Japan SHM-SACD (Single Layer) comes in a mini LP cardboard sleeve with OBI stripe, making “A Night At The Vanguard” an absolutely collectible disc!

This title is an SHM SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It allows a much better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal’s SHM SACDs are generally re-digitized to DSD from the albums’ master tapes without any changes. SHM SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Please do not use L’Art du Son or alcohol-based cleaning agents. – Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector’s items for the Japanese market.
