Artist:
Kenny Drew
Title:
Complete Recordings 1953-1954



Details:
Kenny Drew was one of a number of the Blue Note label's inspired modern jazz pianists in the early '50s. His skill was readily apparent·it was so apparent in fact that he chose not to belabor the point And astonish us with virtuosity for its own sake. Skill having been stated to everyone's satisfaction Drew went on to other matters·to the subtleties in shading And expression that made him unique. Around the time of these recordings Drew was a regular member of Buddy de Franco's quartet. His debut album cut in New York 1953 has Art Blakey (d) & Curly Russell (b) while on the sessions that follow Eugene Wright takes over on bass with firstly Charles Wright then Lawrence Marable on the drum stool
