Wynton Kelly - Kelly Great (1959)

personnel :

Lee Morgan - Trumpet
Wayne Shorter - tenor saxophone
Wynton Kelly - piano
Paul Chambers - bass
Philly Joe Jones - drums

Pianist Wynton Kelly teams up with trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones for a fine, advanced hard bop date. There are four originals (all virtually forgotten decades later) by Kelly, Shorter and Morgan but it is the lone standard, a playful version of "June Night" (which has some puckish Morgan trumpet), that is the standout. At 35 minutes, this CD reissue of a former LP is pretty brief, but what is here on the formerly rare session should satisfy collectors of the style.~Scott Yanow
