Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane

Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane is a studio album of music performed by jazz musicians Kenny Burrell and John Coltrane. It was released on the New Jazz label in April 1963. The recording was made on March 7, 1958. It was reissued in 1967 on New Jazz's parent label Prestige, with a different cover and retitled The Kenny Burrell Quintet With John Coltrane. The record was the second to feature Coltrane, Burrell, and Flanagan playing together in a small group. Eleven months earlier, the three recorded The Cats, which was first released in December of 1959 on the New Jazz label.

Reception
Lindsay Planer of AllMusic gave it 4 stars, stating: "While not one of Coltrane's most assured performances, he chases the groove right into the hands of Burrell. The guitarist spins sonic gold and seems to inspire similar contributions from Chambers' bowed bass and Coltrane alike."
