On View at the Five Spot Cafe

On View at the Five Spot Cafe is a live album by American jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell, with drummer Art Blakey, recorded at the Five Spot Café in New York City on August 25, 1959 and released on Blue Note.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states, "As the dawn of the 1960s saw new-breed jazz being fomented, Burrell, Blakey, and company proved you could still swing and remain melodic while creating new sonic vistas. This recording is easily recommended to all".

English jazz guitarist Andy Summers referred to Burrell's solo on "Lover Man" as "one of the best jazz guitar solos ever recorded."
