Wynton Kelly
Piano Solo on
All The Things You Are

About

Wynton Kelly's piano solo is the 5th of 6 solos on this recording, following Hank Mobley's tenor sax and before Paul Chambers's closing acoustic bass statement. Spanning one chorus of the 36-bar AABA form at an up-tempo 199 BPM with a swing feel in A♭, the solo runs approximately 44 seconds. Wynton Kelly contributes a single chorus of graceful piano improvisation, and Paul Chambers closes with a single chorus of acoustic bass that demonstrates his remarkable melodic conception. Wynton Kelly was 25 to 26 years old at the time of this 1957 recording.
