Wynton Kelly drumless trio with Kenny Burrell and Paul Chambers

Strong Man 0:00 Ill Wind 5:16 Don t Explain 9:39 You Can t Get Away 15:14 Wynton Kelly (Riverside RLP 12254) (1958) Recorded in NYC, Jan. 31, 1958 Wynton Kelly (p), Kenny Burrell (g), Paul Chambers (b) Two of the trio tunes were brought to Wynton s attention when he and Paul Chambers worked with an allstar quintet backing Abbey Lincoln (RLP 12251): Strong Man, a moody new tune that sounds as if it ought to become a jazz standard; and Billie Holiday s Don t Explain (which, incidentally, Wynton has not recorded on piano before: he played bass on a pianoless version in Abbey s album). Ill Wind is a plaintive, relatively neglected Harold Arlen strain. The fourth item is named in honor of the assumption that somehow You Can t Get Away from playing a blues on just about every LP.
