Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing the often overlooked pianist early in his career, 'New Faces - New Sounds' highlights Kenny Drew's impeccably clean articulation and profound harmonic sense. Backed by Art Blakey, the sessions bridge the complex, rapid-fire demands of bebop with a more grounded, soulful swing. It serves as a brilliant, foundational entry in Blue Note's documentation of emerging modern jazz talents.
