Wynton Kelly

The integral Vee Jay studio works of one of the most outstanding piano trios. Featuring Paul Chambers, Sam Jones, Jimmy Cobb and Philly Joe Jones. Includes all the master & alternate takes. This release contains the complete Vee Jay studio recordings by the Wynton Kelly Trio for the first time ever on one edition. The Wynton Kelly heard here (from the period 1959-1961), was at the peak of his fruitful collaboration with Miles Davis, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb and the inimitable John Coltrane filling out the celebrated quintet. It is interesting to hear Kelly as the main performer, displaying his own personality and even playing some of his own compositions. Includes 12-page comprehensive booklet!
