Piano Solo on
Crazeology

About

Stephen Scott's piano solo is the third of 4 solos on this recording, following Antonio Hart's alto sax and before Christian McBride's closing acoustic bass statement. Spanning two choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a brisk 300 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 52 seconds. The composition is a contrafact based on the chord changes of "I Got Rhythm." Stephen Scott contributes two choruses of piano, his fingers racing through the changes with clarity and swing. Stephen Scott was 20 to 21 years old at the time of this 1990 recording.
