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 three choruses of the 16-bar AA' form at a relaxed 101 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:55. Pianist Wynton Kelly follows with three characteristically elegant choruses, and bassist Paul Chambers contributes two melodic choruses that showcase his exceptional facility on the instrument. "Soul Station" is the title track from Hank Mobley's 1960 Blue Note album, widely regarded as his finest recording and one of the great tenor saxophone albums in jazz. Wynton Kelly was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1960 recording.
