Tonight's Jazz Feature is by one of the finest Jazz pianists who was so good and consistent during the brief 39 years on the planet that he was taken for granted and dismissed with terms like "pleasant", "aimiable" etc. He was a unique stylist and was sought after for many classic recording dates. He worked with Miles Davis for 4 1/2 years. During his tenure with Davis from 1959 to 1963 he recorded several piano trio albums and this is his best. It was recorded in April 1960 and was with bassist Paul Chambers and drummer "Philly Joe" Jones. The trio was well recorded and sounded like a permanent working band. Philly Joe gives the trio that extra "edge" as well. "Kelly at Midnight" is a rare treat and one of the finest piano trio albums ever! It's tonight's Jazz Feature so dont miss!
