	CATALOG: KENNY DREW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		When Kenny Drew recorded this album--his first as a leader--in 1956, assisted by the highly-regarded drummer and bassist of the Miles Davis Quintet, he seemed on the verge of stardom.
		In the mid-Fifties, Kenny Drew was one of the most promising and in-demand young pianists on the bustling New York jazz scene.
		Drew (1928-1993) was one of the brightest young pianists in New York, whose impressive recording credits alone included, in addition to his own LPs, sessions with the twin towers of post-Bird tenors, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane.

	Guardian \| Kenny Drew Jr
		This is the second Kenny Drew to have made an impression on jazz - the first was his pianist father, a formidable American bebop player who emigrated to Europe in the 1960s.
		Drew is currently on a British tour, and played two nights in London this week with Geoff Gascoyne on bass and Sebastiaan de Krom on drums.
		A ballad dedicated to Drew's father emphasised the remarkably liquid and sensuous sound he brings to slow music, and All the Things You Are was initially hidden in harmonic shifts and darker textures than usual.

	BBC - Coventry and Warwickshire Music - Kenny Drew review
		Kenny Drew Jr is a big bear of a man who looks awkward away from his piano, but his performance at Warwick Arts Centre on Saturday, 8 March proved he is in total command of his instrument.
		In a very basic sense, Kenny Drew Jnr rocks - this is music like bells going off in your head, and hard to describe with anything except hyperbole.
		Though he is well-known as the lead soloist of the Mingus Big Band this is Drew's first appearance in the UK in the trio format.

	Undercurrent: The Hard Bop Homepage
		The quintet that plays Kenny Drew's music here had never worked as a unit before the recording but the tremendous cohesion and spirit far outdistances many of today's permanent groups in the same genre.
		Drew shows that he has absorbed the stylistic changes that Horace Silver brought about during the last decade without radically altering his own personality.
		Drew is masterful as the ideas flow from his fingers in a manner that leaves no doubt that he is in complete control of the situation at all times.

	Kenny Drew Jr. Trio \| Remembrance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Neither is Kenny and crew, working their way thru 70 minutes and 11 tracks of the sort of combo that excites the soul and that part of the brain you tend to put away at night.
		Kenny’s trio manages to draw its own magic out with unforced reliance, counting on each other with nary a somber or self-conscious patch (‘Goodbye’ sees to that).
		Though Kenny’s mean solo, followed swiftly by deBriano’s ditto bass time, followed yet again by the grand stereo beat of Tany Jefferson, rounds out the track so well that squares need not apply.

	Kenny Drew Jnr. Trio: Remembrance - PopMatters Music Review
		One of those forebears was his father, who, of course, was also called Kenny Drew and was the most complete keyboard stylist of that gifted post-Bud Powell generation.The task is magnified by choosing to record an album of tributes to recently departed greats.
		Drew, contrary to some reports is no clone of his father.
		Somewhat perversely in such a circumstance, the jaunty "With Prestige" is the pick of the three tracks.Maybe it's the added interest that it was composed by Drew Snr.If the son is over-awed by this it doesn't show as he sounds very relaxed even with the fast time signature.

	KENNY DREW: Undercurrent (Classic Records and D.A.D. / Blue Note) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Undercurrent was the sixth release from Classic in their Blue Note vinyl series, and recently this 1960 date saw its debut on D.A.D. The entire quintet--Drew on piano, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Hank Mobley on tenor, Sam Jones on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums--are in fine form here.
		Drew's fleet-fingered solos are clear as a bell, especially on "Lion's Den" and "The Pot's On." Bass response on the D.A.D. was slightly better than the vinyl, although the difference was minimal.
		You'll swear Kenny's in the same room with you when you hear this one.

		It seems strange that (with the exception of a 1960 session for Blue Note) this would be pianist Kenny Drew [+]'s last session as a leader until 1973.
		With bassist Wilbur Ware [+] and drummer Philly Joe Jones [+], Drew interprets eight Rodgers and Hart tunes, five written for the play Pal Joey and three of their earlier hits that were included in the film version.
		Drew contributes swing and subtle bop-based improvising to these superior melodies (which are highlighted by "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," "I Could Write a Book," and "The Lady Is a Tramp"), and the results are quite memorable.

	Kenny Drew Jr. \| This One's For Bill
		Well versed in the classical repertoire, Kenny has immense technique on his instrument, yet there is also a sensitivity and beauty that he exudes in his music.
		Kenny is quite capable of introspection and contemplation; it is for this very reason that this solo piano outing is so successful.
		Aside from the title cut, which is Kenny's personal tribute to the late Evans, the set of songs on this disc were either penned by Evans, or closely associated with him.

	Kenny Drew, Jr. Solo: This One's For Bill - PopMatters Music Review
		All this is in aid of trying to explain that my mind was quite open to thoroughly enjoy Kenny Drew, Jr's solo piano tribute to the late Bill Evans, and I'm not entirely sure why I did not.
		The songs are a mix of Evans' compositions, other works favored by him during his life, and Drew's own tribute piece, "This One's For Bill." Of them all, the album-closing "Nardis," by Miles Davis, is the most satisfying, as notes fall with precision and seem to vibrate with barely held in check life.
		It's a mugs game to try to guess the exact feelings of the artist from their art, but Drew certainly seems to be cutting loose a bit more here; the piece alternately descends and climbs in ways that are quite exciting.

	Blue Note Records
		The superb cast consists of Hank Mobley, Kenny Drew, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones.
		All the compositions are brilliant,nothing is "routine", and Kenny and the group play at the top of their game, but with great sensitivity for the sense of the music and for each other.
		It's a tragedy that Kenny never got full recognition when he was alive, and the chance to write extended pieces.

	Amazon.com: The Kenny Drew Trio: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Kenny Drew brings a pure bop angularity to this 1956 session, with driving single-note lines that clamber over one another to get at a new rhythmic detail, along with splashing chords that find the joy in the blues.
		He's joined by a rhythm section that virtually defined the mid-1950s ethos: bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones, Miles Davis regulars and a frequent tandem on sessions of the day.
		Drew's boppish, Powell-inspired playing shines on Ellington's "Caravan," while he's close to the essence of Monk on "Ruby, My Dear." It's a classic session by a pianist whose long European residence meant that he was unjustly neglected at home.
