About
Wynton Kelly's piano solo is the 2nd of 3 on this recording, following Hank Mobley's tenor sax and followed by Paul Chambers on acoustic bass. Spanning two choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a medium-up 168 BPM with a swing feel in A♭, the solo runs approximately 1:32. The rhythm section of Kelly, Chambers, and drummer Art Blakey provides one of the most swinging foundations in recorded jazz, their collective groove an irresistible invitation to musical conversation. "Remember" is a warm, swinging reading of Irving Berlin's standard that opens Hank Mobley's masterpiece Soul Station, recorded in 1960 for Blue Note. Wynton Kelly was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1960 recording.
