Wynton Kelly • Kelly Blue



Review by Scott Yanow
Recorded for Riverside, this set mostly features the influential pianist Wynton Kelly in a trio with his fellow rhythm-section mates from the Miles Davis bands, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb. "Kelly Blue" and "Keep It Moving" add cornetist Nat Adderley, flutist Bobby Jaspar and the tenor of Benny Golson to the band for some variety. Kelly was renowned as an accompanist, but as he shows on a set including three of his originals and four familiar standards (including "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise" and "Willow Weep for Me"), he was also a strong bop-based soloist too. A fine example of his talents. [Some reissues augment the program with a previously unreleased "Do Nothin' Till You Hear from Me" and the alternate take of "Keep It Moving."]

Commentaire de Scott Yanow
Enregistré pour Riverside, ce set met surtout en vedette le pianiste influent Wynton Kelly dans un trio avec ses collègues de section rythmique des groupes Miles Davis, le bassiste Paul Chambers et le batteur Jimmy Cobb. "Kelly Blue" et "Keep It Moving" ajoutent le cornettiste Nat Adderley, le flûtiste Bobby Jaspar et le ténor de Benny Golson au groupe pour une certaine variété. Kelly était renommé comme accompagnateur, mais comme il le montre sur un plateau comprenant trois de ses originaux et quatre standards familiers (dont "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise" et "Willow Weep for Me"), il était aussi un solide soliste bop. Un bel exemple de ses talents. (Quelques rééditions complètent le programme avec une version inédite de "Do Nothin' Till You Hear from Me" et la prise alternative de "Keep It Moving.")
