Listening Room – “Kelly Great”

This 1959 record teams Wynton Kelly with fellow Vee-Jay Records artsits Wayne Shorter and Lee Morgan for a satisfying hard-bop session.  This album was pretty rare before it was re-released on CD and hopefully the original tracks (one each by Morgan (What I Know) and Kelly (Wrinkles), two by Shorter) might now get of the attention they deserve.
