Wynton Kelly
Piano Solo on
If I Should Lose You

About

Wynton Kelly's piano solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Hank Mobley's tenor sax. Spanning two choruses of the 32-bar ABAC form at a medium-up 188 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 1:23. Pianist Wynton Kelly follows with two swinging choruses that complement Mobley's style without imitating it, his bluesy touch and rhythmic snap adding a different color to the performance. "If I Should Lose You" is a swinging reading of Ralph Rainger's standard from Hank Mobley's 1960 Blue Note masterpiece Soul Station. Wynton Kelly was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1960 recording.
