Piano Solo on
Like Sonny

About

Wynton Kelly's piano solo is the second of three solos on this recording, following John Coltrane on tenor sax. Spanning two choruses of the 24-bar ABA form in E♭ at a brisk 147 BPM with a swing feel, Kelly contributes two characteristically polished choruses, followed by a rare featured solo from Chambers, who takes two eloquent choruses on acoustic bass, demonstrating the melodic authority that made him one of the most recorded bassists in jazz history. Wynton Kelly was 27 to 28 years old at the time of this recording.
