Wynton Kelly - Kelly Blue (1959)

Wynton Kelly - Kelly Blue (1959), Riverside Music, SACD

  Wynton Kelly was adored by Miles Davis and so many others as well.   Kelly Blue is one of his early solo albums and IMHO is a great recording.  This album showcases the piano work of Kelly with the assistance of Nat Adderley (cornet), Bobby Jasper (flute), Benny Golson (tenor sax) , Paul Chambers (bass) and Jimmy Cobb (Bass).   Of course Cobb and Chambers both were the rhythm section for Miles Davis.
