Drums Solo on
Countdown

About

Jorge Rossy's drums solo is the closing of 2 solos on this recording, following Brad Mehldau's piano. Spanning two choruses of the 16-Bar form at a brisk 320 BPM with a latin feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 22 seconds. The composition is a contrafact based on the chord changes of "Tune Up." Drummer Jorge Rossy follows with two choruses that maintain the blistering intensity. Jorge Rossy was 30 to 31 years old at the time of this 1995 recording. The result transforms a straightforward standard into a rapidly modulating obstacle course that demands precise harmonic navigation at high speed.
