Soul Surfin' is an album by jazz trombonist and arranger Kai Winding featuring guitarist Kenny Burrell recorded in 1963 for the Verve label.
[3] The Allmusic review by Tony Wilds observed "A strict surf album this is not, despite the packaging and a few titles.
Actually, it is Claus Ogerman and Winding's sound, helped out in no small part by Kenny Burrell on guitar.
Except when obviously imitating standard surf guitar, Burrell provides texture, specifically the "water sound" popularized by Vinnie Bell.
The rhythm is basic "big beat" rock, and melody never really has a chance to escape blues figures, which is just as well".
