CD ReviewsKelly Blue collectionhog | 07/10/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a killer session with Wynton, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb. Miles' rhythm section at its best without Miles. Wynton Kelly is stellar on the piano and the session is pure hard bop. This is one of my favorite cd's in the mainstream jazz genre. Add to this mix Nat Adderley on cornet, Bobby Jasper on flute and (In my opinion) the underrated Benny Golson on tenor and you have a 5 star mix. Most definitely recommended!" Best album under Wynton's leadership, but not Wynton's best Matthew Watters | Vietnam | 02/15/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "Wynton Kelly's lasting importance will be always be as a sideman -- on classic Blue Note dates by Hank Mobley and Sonny Rollins, among countless other recorded appearances, and in the classic Miles Davis Quintet in the period following the release of Kind of Blue. In this role, Kelly consistently turned in great comping and solo work with inventive right-hand lines and a joyous, ringing quality to his playing. He was one of the most swinging pianists of all time, and if you want to hear his greatest recording, look no further than the Miles Davis "In Person" recordings at the Black Hawk, in which Kelly is on fire from beginning to end. Among the various albums made with Kelly as the leader, however, this is the finest, featuring a couple of long pieces featuring "blowing" by a stellar line-up of Benny Golson, Nat Adderely and little-known flautist Bobby Jaspar, who matches Kelly's carefree quality to a tee. In addition are some nice trio performances by what was then the Miles Davis rhythm section of some standards that Kelly made his own, including "On Green Dolphin Street" and "Willow Weep for Me". A four-and-a-half star set, docked a half-star for its lack of ambition."
