Kenny Drew has an immaculate pedigree as a jazz pianist working with many major names including Sonny Rollins on “Tour-de-Force” and with John Coltrane on the iconic “Blue Train” to name just two. In 1961 he travelled to Paris and found work but in 1964 he settled in Copenhagen and found enough work with local musicians and visitors from the States. He formed a Duo with Danish bassist Niels Henning Orsted Pederson and recorded prolifically. He worked for many years at the Club Montmartre Jazzhuis and recorded a number of live albums from the club with Dexter Gordon and also Ben Webster.
He recorded four Songbook albums of which this album was one. This release, recorded in 1957, was called “I Love Jerome Kern” and appears to be aimed at wider audience than a purely jazz one. All the tune are played well enough but there is little improvisation which a number of prominent pianists were doing at the time.
