Wynton Kelly rules !!!!!!

@bakercool Wynton Kelly's touch, melodic sense and timing seems to be completely unique to him. Especially on tunes such as this. Possibly the greatest accompanist of his generation too.

I play the bass guitar and piano, but I still respect SONNY!

Rollins playing is so F****** cool! Every note rings!

Marvelous! This is definitely my track off of the album! Kelly amazes as usual with his astounding improvization, and his work is complimented with the exceptional syncopated playing of the much under-rated senior Watkins. As for the main man himself, well...words cannot describe his genius.

PS: Love the joke that Sonny pulled off with Miles Davis while in a cab, playing along with the fact that he looked like Don Newcombe!

Excellent Rollins, propelled by Philly Joe, Doug Watkins and Wynton Kelly. In his book 'The Jazz Tradition' critic Martin Willaims analyzes Sonny's architectural solo. Sonny later admitted that he couldn't play for days after having read the analysis.
