This is absolutely one of my favorite jazz tunes. This solo is jam packed with classic Wynton Kelly vocabulary. I believe the reason that this song isn’t played more is that the chart in the original Real Book 2 is un-usable — a hopelessly bad chart.
Dig Dis – Wynton Kelley
I don’t think of myself is a particularly good blues player, and I was looking for some blues vocabulary from the master. This is classic Wynton Kelley, playing on one of my all time favorite jazz albums (Hank Mobley’s Soul Station).
Unit Seven – Wynton Kelley
From Smokin’ at the Half Note (1965 with Wes Montgomery, Paul Chambers & Jimmy Cobb)
