Wynton is “Kelly Great”

The great thing about the Hard Bop era is the endless discovery of great recordings like this album, “Kelly Great.” I found it when searching for albums in which Lee Morgan had participated in. If you are fund of a particular jazz musician and would like to find albums that are not familiar (and there are many in the Hard bop era) then you should go to wikipedia or discogs. This 1959 Wynton Kelly album is a real gem, featuring my favorite trumpet and tenor sax duel ever, Lee Morgan and Wayne Shorter, joined by Philly Joe Jones on drums and Paul Chambers on bass. Can’t beat this combination, another unknown classic, enjoy!

About the album:

Pianist Wynton Kelly teams up with trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones for a fine, advanced hard bop date. There are four originals (all virtually forgotten decades later) by Kelly, Shorter and Morgan…….Read More

Honest Testimonials from the Global Jazz Con Class Radio Listeners

"Enjoy, very much, listening to your arrangements. My wife and I have two sons (14 & 11) who think Jazz is 'Dad's elevator music'. However, while we were watching 'High Society' Bing Crosby was leading the band in 'Now you has Jazz', while slowly adding each instrument. Finally, of course, the whole number was really rolling with Louis Armstrong leading the way! My youngest son, Joseph, said 'Dad, play that once more.' My wife smiled at me and I knew this wonderful, American art form was getting through to them.
Keep going, Jose. Jazz Con Class Radio is fabulous!"

"I just downloaded this app and it's my first (certainly of many!) evenings with you. The music is great but so is the philosophy of why you created this space and the visual and functional appearance of the space.
Congratulations, I don't think I will ever become tired of visiting you!"

- Reinhold (Austria/Switzerland)

"A site for true jazz lovers, for TRUTH lovers, for anyone looking to
escape the garbage passed off as real music today and experience
something real. Art at its finest, and I listen in just about every
day. Thank you for your good and necessary work, Jose."

- Alex Rivero- New Jersey (USA)
