Wynton Kelly
Piano Solo on
Dig Dis

About

Wynton Kelly's piano solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Hank Mobley's tenor sax. Spanning four choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at a moderate 146 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 1:19. The rhythm section of Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Art Blakey swings with an effortless groove that epitomizes the Blue Note sound of this era. "Dig Dis" is a medium-tempo blues original by Hank Mobley from his landmark 1960 Blue Note album Soul Station. Wynton Kelly was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1960 recording.
