Kyle Poole
Drums Solo on
Caravan

About

Kyle Poole closes the solo section with two choruses of drums on "Caravan" at approximately 272 BPM, maintaining the 64-bar AABA form with the structural awareness that characterizes the best jazz drum soloing. Following trumpet, saxophone, and piano solos by Randy Brecker, Chad Lefkowitz-Brown, and Emmet Cohen, Poole's drum feature brings the high-energy Ellington performance to a powerful conclusion. His two choruses over the extended form demonstrate an ability to create rhythmic narratives that sustain interest and bring the improvised section to a satisfying close.

Kyle Poole was 27 to 28 years old at the time.
