Answer:
If this is the tune, then the piano player is not Wynton Kelly but Bill Evans. Wynton Kelly (a blues pianist) only played on Freddie Freeloader, the second piece on Kind of Blue.
1 Paul Chambers: bass
2 Miles Davis: trumpet
3 John Coltrane: tenor saxophone
4 Bill Evans, (not Wynton Kelly): piano
5 Jimmy Cobb: drums
Explanation:
This is one of the finest examples of a modal jazz theme (modal jazz = a return to melody) with little chords (Emin7 & Dmin7) that are not harmonically progressive - in the meaning of having to obey to a specific harmonical development. In other words: less chords but more freedom.
Kind of Blue is considered to be the all-time greatest album of jazz, and I certainly agree. History and the unique encounter of 6 (with Wynton 7) tremendously gifted musicians at a specific moment in time - the Bebop storm was loosing momentum and everybody was eager for something less hectic - will never be repeated. Or, as drummer Jimmy Cobb said, ´<em>It must have been made in heaven.'</em>
