Matt Dwonszyk
Acoustic Bass Solo on
Crazy He Calls Me

About

Matt Dwonszyk's acoustic bass solo is the second of two solos on this 2018 trio performance of Carl Sigman's "Crazy He Calls Me," following Julieta Eugenio's tenor saxophone. He takes half a chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at 69 BPM in C, a concise ballad statement that highlights his melodic sensibility in the exposed trio setting. The slow tempo and intimate context place every note in sharp relief, demanding the kind of tonal beauty and phrase shaping that Dwonszyk brings to the performance.
