Wynton Kelly- Kelly Blue (2lp/180g/45rpm) (Vinyl)
For Wynton Kelly, Kelly Blue marked a career highlight. A blueprint for blues-infused hard bop, Kelly Blue is Kelly's definitive statement as a bandleader - a swinging, blues-soaked masterclass in touch, taste, and timing. This is the sound of a pianist playing with both finesse and fire. The Pitch (and it swings hard) If you're assembling a jazz collection and Kelly Blue isn't on your shelf, you're basically hosting a dinner party without food. Kelly was the pianist Miles Davis trusted enough to bring into his band and replace Red Garland. Kelly was the ultimate sideman turned understated hero - blending gospel fire, blues grit, and bebop elegance into a buttery-smooth flow that made his touch unmistakable. On Kelly Blue, he steps out of the shadow and into the spotlight, where he glows like a well-polished Steinway under stage lights. And Kelly brought friends on this auspicious date. Paul Chambers (bass) - So solid, they used him to calibrate metronomes. Jimmy Cobb (drums) - Subtle as a whisper, sharp as a whip. And Nat Adderley (cornet), Benny Golson (tenor sax), and Bobby Jaspar (flute) - Because sometimes, you need a horn section that sounds like they're reciting poetry in perfect harmony. These cats don't just support Kelly - they elevate him. Bottom line, Kell (more...)
