About

Emmet Cohen's piano solo is the 4th of 23 solos on this recording, following Ben Wolfe's acoustic bass and followed by Stacy Dillard on tenor sax. Spanning three choruses of the 56-bar AABA form at an up-tempo 188 BPM with a swing feel in A♭, the solo runs approximately 3:32. Cohen provides extensive piano solos throughout. Emmet Cohen was 31 to 32 years old at the time of this 2022 recording. According to one account, the composition originated when Dameron played unusual chord voicings at a jam session and Gillespie enthusiastically encouraged him to develop them into a complete tune.
