On this recording your listening to a very young Wynton Kelly.Considered by many as probably the greatest sideman in the buisness,and among a handful of the great pianist in Jazz History.After making a name for himself working with Dinah Washington(1955-57),the word spread quickly about Wynton's talents.He worked with the Dizzy Gillespie orchestra during 1957.Then came his famous stint with Miles Davis between 1959-1963.After leaving his tenure with Miles he took the rest of the rhythm section,Paul Chambers(bass)and Jimmy Cobb(drums),to form his own trio,frequently backing Wes Montgomery(quitarist).Always a finesse accompanist,he frequently took on freelance work until his untimely and premature death at age 39.It is very refreshing to here Wynton at the age of 20 performing these classics standards.This album is a unique listen.A genius in the early stages of his illustrious career.Wynton always has that optimistic aura about him,regardless of the tempo.Enjoy.Health and Happiness
Wynton Kelly was born in Jamaica of West Indian parents on December 2,1931.
