Reader Reviews
I used to own this album on vinyl. The tune, You've Got To Have Freedom, is worth my getting it on CD. Kelly spends much of the tune comping on the backbeat, a curious but very effective theme that really drives the tune. His solo, which begins and ends with a series of chords played on the one and three, builds and resolves with a beauty and seeming inevitablility or right-ness that I've rarely heard outside of classical music. By contrast, the solo rendition of "Well You Needn't" shows Kelly's wit. Moving the melody up a minor third to give the tune a 7#9 flavor, he captures just a touch of the absurd. I'm sorry his Sweet Georgia Brown, an equally playful solo from the original LP, apparently isn't included on this CD.
