Kyle Poole
Drums Solo on
Alone Together

About

Kyle Poole closes the solo section with three choruses of drums on "Alone Together" at approximately 202 BPM, the fourth and final soloist on this swinging treatment of the Schwartz standard. His extended drum feature over the 36-bar AABA form in D minor demonstrates structural awareness and rhythmic creativity, each chorus developing organically from the last. Following piano, trumpet, and alto solos by Emmet Cohen, Tatum Greenblatt, and Alexa Tarantino, Poole's three-chorus statement brings the performance to a dynamic conclusion, his drumming maintaining the form's architectural shape while generating its own rhythmic narratives.

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