Dan Nimmer is an American jazz pianist and composer. As the title suggests, Nimmer’s second release for Venus Records is a tribute to Wynton Kelly, who was a swingy, bluesy and funky genius and a groove master who worked with Miles Davis and others. Jimmy Cobb, the veteran drummer who played with Kelly in the historic “Kind of Blue” session, bridges the two generations and validates Nimmer’s efforts with his impeccable groove.
