Inbar Paz
Acoustic Bass Solo on
You Stepped out of a Dream

About

Inbar Paz's acoustic bass solo is the third and final solo on this 2017 SIJ Trio performance of "You Stepped out of a Dream" at Mezzrow, following Julieta Eugenio's tenor saxophone and Sarah Slonim's piano. She takes half a chorus of the 32-bar ABAC form at 169 BPM in C, closing the solo section with a bass statement that demonstrates melodic invention and rhythmic clarity. At 24 to 25 years old, Paz's playing brings a warm, defined tone to this standard's harmonically engaging changes.

Inbar Paz was 24 to 25 years old at the time.
