This is the second KennyDrew 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.
