Gospel music and the Blues are intimately linked. Gospel tunes are often based on the blues progression and because of this the Blues naturally lends itself to gospel style inflection. Wynton Kelly elegantly demonstrates this two-sides-of-a-coin relationship on his gospel inflected blues solo over the changes to his tune Old Clothes from his 1959 Riverside release Kelly Blue. The secret to achieving this gospel blues sound is revealed through an analysis of his solo in this lesson.
Wynton is extremely underrated...Herbie and Chick and Keith all cop his rhythmic feel when they're really wanting to get down and groove in a medium tempo.

Great, I adore Kelly's spontaneous elegant style. At the same time it seems very well contructed, as if it was a new melody. You Caught this style very well
