The younger brother of the far more famous Wes, I think was an excellent pianist.
I've been recently revisiting some of his recordings, he had a nice understated style.

Polka-dots and Moonbeams.

For a time he accompanied the jazz singer Marlena Shaw.

Here's a live performance of her singing "Go Away Little Boy," from a CD I purchased nearly three decades ago, he plays in the background whilst she performs a comedy monologue before getting into the song. I find it timeless, but so are many Carol King tunes.
