A talented bop-based pianist (whose son has been one of the brightest pianists
of the 1990s), Kenny Drew was somewhat underrated due to his decision to
permanently move to Copenhagen in 1964. He made his recording debut in 1949 with
Howard McGhee and in the 1950s was featured on sessions with a whos who of jazz,
including Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Milt Jackson, Buddy
DeFrancos quartet, Dinah Washington, and Buddy Rich (1958). Drew led sessions
for Blue Note, Norgran, Pacific Jazz, Riverside, and the obscure Judson label
during 1953-1960; most of the sessions are available on CD. He moved to Paris in
1961 and relocated to Copenhagen in 1964 where he was co-owner of the Matrix
label. He formed a duo with Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson and worked regularly
at the Montmartre. Drew recorded many dates for SteepleChase in the 1970s and
remained active up until his death. ~ Scott Yanow
