John Jenkins with Kenny Burrell

John Jenkins with Kenny Burrell is an album by American jazz saxophonist John Jenkins and jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell recorded in 1957 and released on the Blue Note label.^[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "Sounding at times like Charlie Parker (with touches of Phil Woods and Jackie McLean), Jenkins easily keeps up with his better-known sidemen and plays the boppish music with plenty of creativity, emotion, and excitement. After listening to the high-quality set, one wonders why Jenkins did not make it".^[2]
