Acoustic Bass Solo on
September in the Rain

About

Christian McBride's acoustic bass solo is the closing of 4 solos on this recording, following Stephen Scott's piano. Spanning one chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a moderate 121 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:04. Christian McBride rounds out the solo section with one chorus of acoustic bass, his rich, full sound and melodic approach making a compelling case for the instrument as a solo voice. Christian McBride was 17 to 18 years old at the time of this 1990 recording.
