The Wynton Kelly heard here (1959-1961) was at the peak of his fruitful collaboration with Miles Davis in the trumpeter's celebrated quintet, which also featured Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb and the inimitable John Coltrane. Therefore, it is truly interesting to hear Kelly as the protagonist on these recordings, displaying his own personality and even playing some of his own compositions. The tracks compiled here were not the first trio recordings by Wynton Kelly. His first explorations with the trio format had taken place in New York, on July 25, 1951, backed by the great Oscar Pettiford on bass and Lee Abrams on drums. The album was titled Piano Interpretations. It would be followed by some more trio sessions in 1951. Then there was a long gap before his next trio recordings, which he made in 1958.
