Having mentioned Miles Davis' Kind of Blue yesterday, I started thinking about the great blues tune that it contains called, "Freddie Freeloader", and its unusual, but beautiful chord progression that ends on a bVII7 chord. It also features great solos from all three horn players (Davis, Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly), over a brilliantly swinging groove from Jimmy Cobb and Paul Chambers, and above all a subtle but powerful performance from the pianist Wynton Kelly. It's the only track on the album on which he appears (it's Bill Evans on the rest), but I would guess that more people have heard his performance on this one than on all of his other recordings combined. Which is too bad, because he's made many excellent albums both as a leader and sideman. In fact, it was his abilities as a sideman, his comping skills, for which he was particularly renowned, and you can hear his expertise and taste on this track. Listen to the way he gradually joins in with Davis' solo at 2:15, for an example. And his own solo is perfect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPfFhfSuUZ4
