I Love Jerome Kern

A trio-less duo date built entirely on Kern's songbook, with Drew's crisp, bop-inflected touch working through standards like "All the Things You Are" and "Yesterdays" as Ware's bass moves with rare melodic independence. Riverside's mid-'50s catalogue often paired sharp modernists with American songbook material, and this session finds Drew treating Kern's melodies as springboards rather than museum pieces.
