Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Kelly in 1951 was already long on his way to achieving his own sound. Influenced most by Bud Powell but also displaying some of the joy of Teddy Wilson's style along with his own chord voicings, Kelly gives listeners no hints on this enjoyable CD (which has two complete sessions plus three alternate takes) that he was still a teenager".[2]

gollark: Bad things? So don't do that, silly.
gollark: The mobile app supports no commands.
gollark: A search query which returns lots of results is going to take longer than one which returns none, mostly, thus you have access to some data you shouldn't.
gollark: For example, send a request to `https://interweb.site/search-some-private-data?query=thing` using a form or `img` or `script` or whatever, and see how long it takes (using `onload`/`onerror` handlers and such).
gollark: The timing attacks thing: since you can send GET requests to domains you probably shouldn't be able to, and time how long they take, you can infer some data you shouldn't be able to from other domains.
