This photo features the cover of the jazz album "Midnight Blue" by Kenny Burrell. The design is bold and striking, with "midnight" written in a bright pinkish-red color and "blue" in large, deep blue letters against a black background. Above the title, the names of the musicians featured on the album are listed: Kenny Burrell, Stanley Turrentine, Major Holley Jr., Bill English, and Ray Barretto. There's also a small black-and-white photo of Kenny Burrell playing the guitar. The album is displayed upright on a wooden stand, with decorative ceramic items and a green glass bottle in the background, giving the setting a cozy, vintage vibe.

. . . Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise obviously inspired Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise (hilariously parodied by Weird Al's Amish Paradise). And among many great covers, Ray Barretto's from La Cuna (1981) is a fave:

🔥Deeper Shade Of Soul🔥

Deze is een tijdje niet verkrijgbaar geweest. Ray Barretto’s “Acid” is een wervelwind van latin grooves en psychedelische jaren ’60 vibes.

Op tijd voor de zomer weer op vinyl uitgebracht. ☀️

Bestel nu!
