About this album

And Far Away is a poised hard bop album that shows Kenny Drew Quartet working with grace, clarity and understated swing. Issued in 1983, it presents Drew’s elegant piano style in a setting that favours melodic economy and relaxed interplay over showy force. The quartet format gives the music room to breathe, letting the group move from reflective balladry to more propulsive jazz with a quiet assurance. Material such as the title piece and a fresh reading of Autumn Leaves helps underline Drew’s gift for phrasing standards and originals alike, making this a finely judged late-period statement in modern jazz.
