Yoshi Waki
Acoustic Bass Solo on
Everything Happens To Me

About

Closing out the solo section, this acoustic bass improvisation spans a half chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a ballad tempo of 63 BPM. Bassist Yoshi Waki follows with a half-chorus of acoustic bass improvisation, adding a brief but touching postscript to Dillon's statement. This is the most concise solo on the recording, making every phrase count within a compact space. The 32-bar AABA form, a staple of the Great American Songbook, offers both structural clarity and ample harmonic terrain for improvisation. Coming after Sam Dillon's tenor sax solo, this is the final improvisation before the ensemble returns to the head.
