Kenny Drew's "I Love Jerome Kern" is a captivating journey through the timeless compositions of Jerome Kern, released in January 1956 under the Grand Avenue label.

Featuring a stellar lineup of musicians, including Donald Byrd on trumpet and Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, the album showcases Drew's ability to interpret and reimagine Kern's classic songs with a fresh and dynamic perspective. Tracks like "The Way You Look Tonight" and "Can't Help Lovin' That Man of Mine" are rendered with a sense of warmth and intimacy, while "I'm Old Fashioned" and "All the Things You Are" highlight the ensemble's collective brilliance.
With a runtime of just over 34 minutes, "I Love Jerome Kern" is a concise yet profound exploration of jazz's enduring connection to the Great American Songbook. The album's meticulous arrangements and impeccable performances make it a standout in Kenny Drew's discography and a must-listen for fans of jazz and vintage standards alike.
