Sunup to Sundown

Sunup to Sundown is an album by guitarist Kenny Burrell that was released on the Contemporary label in 1991.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow noted: "Guitarist Kenny Burrell has a strong all-around showcase on this release from Contemporary ... Burrell swings harder than he usually does when paying tribute to the past, coming up with fresh statements on the varied material ... This set serves as an excellent introduction to Kenny Burrell's enjoyable brand of straightahead playing."

The sleeve note is a letter from Tony Bennett to Burrell's manager Helen Keane (jazz) accompanied by one of Bennett's drawings of the band.
