Though he recorded in the region of four-dozen albums under his own name, nowadays Kenny Drew is perhaps best known for being the piano player on Coltrane’s Blue Train. Jamaican by birth, but a much recorded fixture on both the East and West Coasts of the USA, Drew was an expansive player who, in the main, was partially influenced by pre-bebop pianists that included Fats Waller and Art Tatum. Of the few albums he recorded with horn players, a 1955 LA date featuring a rare appearance by wildcard sax man Joe Maini (double tracked on some selections) has long been a sort after item especially as Leroy Vinnegar and Lawrence Marable are infected by the somewhat prevailing mischievous atmosphere (‘Wee Dot’, ‘Hidden Channel’). At the price, it’s quite probably no more expensive than a pint of imported lager and lasts longer.
