Blues In The ClosetThe elegance feeling and virtuosity which made KENNY DREW a major distinctive figure among modern jazz pianists is to be found in abundance at this concert from July 1992 in England - just a year before his death. These characteristic qualities of Kenny Drew's musicianship are further enhanced by this exciting opportunity to see the performance as well as hear it.Accompanying Drew are two exceptional musicians who match his demanding... standards of the musical excellence and with whom he also found a deep musical rapport. The pianist's close professional partnership (and personal friendship) with the legendary Danish bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen dates back to the mid-60s when Kenny first settled in Copenhagen. Master drummer Alvin Queen joined Kenny and NHOP in 1989 giving a further boost to the music and rounding out one of the most prominent jazz trios of the 90's.The seven pieces performed at the Brewhouse had been in the trio's book for many years and were among the musician's favourite compositions. Not only are they interpreted with complete assurance and evident enjoyment but the trio also takes the opportunity to stretch out and live dangerously in a setting without possibility for edits or overdubs.We're doubly lucky today to be able to 'attend' what was not only a great concert but also - in retrospect - a historic event according to NHOP 'It was ' he recalls 'the last time I played with Kenny when he was really at the top of his form'.
