Broadway musicals provided considerable--and often top-quality--material
for the improvisers of the late 1950s. Few scores were better than
Rodgers and Hart's Pal Joey, and few "jazz impressions"
have proven to be more lasting than those of Kenny Drew, Wilbur Ware,
and Philly Joe Jones. Drew (1928-1993) was one of the brightest young
pianists in New York, whose impressive recording credits alone included,
in addition to his own LPs, sessions with the twin towers of post-Bird
tenors, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. Supported brilliantly by
bassist Ware (1923-1979) and drummer Jones (1923-1985), two supreme
individualists on their respective instruments, the pianist's bebop
inflections and inspired balladry fit "Joey" like a blocked
Trilby hat.
