About
Wynton Kelly's piano solo is the second of 3 solos on this recording, following Johnny Griffin's tenor sax and before Johnny Griffin's closing tenor sax statement. Spanning one chorus of the 72-bar AABA' form at a brisk 347 BPM with a swing feel in D, the solo runs approximately 50 seconds. After pianist Wynton Kelly contributes a fleet one-chorus solo, Griffin returns for an extended closing statement of nearly two more choruses, building the intensity even further. Wynton Kelly was 24 to 25 years old at the time of this 1956 recording.
