Recorded for Riverside, this set mostly features the influential pianist
Wynton Kelly in a trio with his fellow rhythm-section mates from the
Miles Davis bands, bassist
Paul Chambers and drummer
Jimmy Cobb. "Kelly Blue" and "Keep It Moving" add cornetist
Nat Adderley, flutist
Bobby Jaspar and the tenor of
Benny Golson to the band for some variety.
Kelly was renowned as an accompanist, but as he shows on a set including three of his originals and four familiar standards (including "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise" and "Willow Weep for Me"), he was also a strong bop-based soloist too. A fine example of his talents. [Some reissues augment the program with a previously unreleased "Do Nothin' Till You Hear from Me" and the alternate take of "Keep It Moving."]
