I have always been an admirer of pianist Wynton Kelly, one of the musicians on Miles Davis' KIND OF BLUE. And I've heard him on many other recordings too. Yet I've never owned one of *his* albums as leader. Until recently. Perusing my voluminous ALL MUSIC GUIDE TO JAZZ 3rd EDITION (see my review) I did some reading about Kelly's recordings and this was one of two that stuck out in my mind. I now own it and am enjoying it as I write this review. Interestingly, some of Kelly's right hand work on the title track sounds similar to Thelonious Monk. The flute playing is a rare treat in a jazz combo, and that's too bad because Bobby Jasper sounds great here!
"Softly As the Morning Sunrise" begins with a beautiful bass ostinato compliments of ubiquitous 50s/60s bassist Paul Chambers. The rest slowly join in and Kelly sets the tone with his appealingly bouncy accompaniment. Likewise, "On Green Dolphin Street" works well around Chambers' two-note vamp and walking bass line. Jimmy Cobb is solid -as always- in his restrained and graceful timekeeping. "Willow Weep For Me" and "Old Clothes" are also great tunes; very earthy, very relaxed. Not a dull note is struck here, everything fits together in swinging fashion. It's funny how some albums and artists are so overshadowed by others; Kelly has crafted an album every bit as good as Sonny Clark's COOL STRUTTIN', yet I'm betting most people -even Jazz fans- are not familiar with KELLY BLUE. Well there's no time like the present. - By Andy Williamson
