About
Gary Versace follows Jonathan Kreisberg with two choruses of organ on "All Or Nothing At All" at approximately 220 BPM, bringing a different energy to the extended 64-bar AABA form in A minor with his full-bodied sound and rich textures. His playing fills the harmonic space with blues-inflected lines and varied registration, the Latin pulse occasionally breaking into swing under the solo's momentum. As the final solo on the album's closing track, Versace's two-chorus statement provides a satisfying conclusion to New For Now, an album that has ranged from intimate ballads to burning blues to Latin-inflected explorations of the standard repertoire.
Gary Versace was 35 to 36 years old at the time.
