Piano Solo on

About

Taking the 2nd solo, this piano improvisation spans two choruses of the 32-bar form at a brisk latin feel at 156 BPM. The Latin feel provides a rhythmic foundation that differs from the swing-based performances elsewhere on the album, and each soloist brings a distinctive perspective to Santoro's composition. The 32-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Situated between Yoshi Waki's acoustic bass solo and Sam Dillon's turn on tenor sax, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.

Peter Zak was 52 to 53 years old at the time.
