We Say...
Unless they sought to carve out careers as soloists, piano players were often thought of as just part of the rhythm section. Wynton Kelly managed to find himself between the two stools during his short career. Probably best-known as an integral part of Miles Davis' first great band, with which he served from 1959 to 1963, he was also a subtle and inventive soloist, recording a number of albums for Blue Note, and this one for Vee-Jay. This expanded version of the original finds him in a trio with bassist Sam Jones and drummer Jimmy Cobb on some tracks and his Davis teammates bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones on others. There's an eight-minute track, "Wrinkles," with Lee Morgan's trumpet and Wayne Shorter's tenor enlivening things, but it's when the piano is up front that this album really takes off, with Kelly challenging himself from chorus to chorus, and producing engaging takes on every track.

They Say...
Pianist Wynton Kelly is heard on this CD reissue (the ten songs from the original LP plus five "new" alternate takes) with either bassist Sam Jones and drummer Jimmy Cobb or bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones. His light touch and perfect taste are very much present along with a steady stream of purposeful single-note lines that are full of surprising twists. Trumpeter Lee Morgan and tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter drop by for one song (the blues "Wrinkles"), but otherwise this recommended set (a definitive Wynton Kelly release) showcases magical trio performances.
