Great record showing Wynton Kelly in a trio setting backed by one of the greatest rhythm sections in the history of jazz: Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. The three players are at the top of their game playing two Kelly originals (Temperance and Pot Luck) and three standards.
Released 1960 : Vee-Jay Records : Catalog # PS-3011
Players:
Wynton Kelly – Piano
Paul Chambers – Bass
Philly Joe Jones – Drums
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.
