About

Emmet Cohen's piano solo is the 10th of 23 solos on this recording, following Stacy Dillard's tenor sax and followed by Victor Lewis on drums. Spanning 3.67 choruses of the 48-bar AAB form at an up-tempo 215 BPM with a latin feel in A♭, the solo runs approximately 3:18. 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.
