Sarah Slonim
Piano Solo on
I've Never Been In Love Before

About

Sarah Slonim's piano solo is the second of two solos on this 2017 SIJ Trio performance of Frank Loesser's "I've Never Been in Love Before" at Mezzrow. Sarah takes a short solo over the second half of the form, covering half a chorus of the 32-bar AABA at 172 BPM in B-flat. This split-chorus arrangement with Eugenio's preceding tenor saxophone creates a conversational dynamic, with each musician taking a portion of the form in an efficient, intimate trio setting.

Sarah Slonim was 28 to 29 years old at the time.
