Matt Dwonszyk
Acoustic Bass Solo on
Love Walked In

About

Matt Dwonszyk's acoustic bass solo is the second of two solos on this 2019 trio performance of George Gershwin's "Love Walked In," following Julieta Eugenio's tenor saxophone. He takes one chorus of the 32-bar ABAC form at 127 BPM in F, bringing melodic clarity and harmonic awareness to Gershwin's standard. The medium swing tempo provides a comfortable setting for bass improvisation, and Dwonszyk's solo demonstrates the melodic sensibility that makes him an effective partner in the trio format.
