About

Taken at a medium swing tempo of 127 BPM over the 36-bar ABAC in E♭, the improvisation unfolds with comfortable, easygoing swing. Rowles, a pianist renowned for his harmonic sophistication and sensitivity as an accompanist, provides a solo that is characteristically elegant and understated. Recorded for the album Stan Getz Plays in 1952, the performance captures Jimmy Rowles at 33 to 34 years old. Stan Getz delivers a full-chorus tenor saxophone solo, while Jimmy Rowles contributes a piano solo covering roughly half a chorus.
