With a strong history in performance dating back to 1965, Kellaway is as accomplished a leader as he is a pianist. On Live he proves his magical touch with ensembles, elevating the album into a higher echelon of jazz collections. Tracks like “C Jam Blues” and “52nd Street Theme” demonstrate a mastery of post-bop jazz while revealing musical breadth – particularly with the inclusion of classical cellist Borislav Strulev and accomplished bassist Jay Leonhart. Together, under Kellaway’s guidance, they continue the excellent tradition of the IPO label’s “all wood” (drumless) releases. With such brilliance inherent in the sessions, listeners will hardly believe their ears at the fine quality of this live recording. But make no mistake: Kellaway’s talent is real, and a true gift to jazz lovers around the world.
With over two hundred albums in his collective discography, Roger Kellaway is one of the most accomplished jazz pianists in the world. Born in Massachusetts in 1939, he turned to the piano early in life before settling into New York’s music scene. His many notable credits include “Remembering You” (the closing theme of All in the Family) and the film score to A Star is Born, starring Barbara Streisand.
