Alan Broadbent
Piano Solo on
Little Girl Blue

About

Opening the solo section, this piano improvisation spans one chorus of the 36-bar AAB form at a ballad tempo of 97 BPM. The arrangement reverses the typical soloist order, with pianist Alan Broadbent taking the first solo, a full chorus of the 36-bar AAB form in F at 97 BPM. The 36-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Following this solo, Doug Webb takes over on tenor sax.

Alan Broadbent was 66 to 67 years old at the time.
