Acoustic Bass Solo on
Birdlike

About

Ben Wolfe's acoustic bass solo is the closing of 23 solos on this recording, following Emmet Cohen's piano. Spanning three choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at a moderate 139 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 1:15. Wolfe contributes bass solos on six pieces, including a featured spot on the Rodgers ballad. Ben Wolfe slows the tempo way down at the end of his solo which Victor Lewis seemed to dig. Ben Wolfe was 59 to 60 years old at the time of this 2022 recording.
