Paul Chambers wraps up the solo sequence with two choruses on acoustic bass, the last of three improvisations. Taken at an up-tempo swing tempo of 215 BPM over the 36-bar AABA' in F, the improvisation moves with confident, driving energy. Paul Chambers rounds out the solo sequence with two choruses of bass improvisation, his lines navigating the extended form with the melodic invention and rhythmic authority that made him indispensable to so many classic recording sessions of the period. Recorded for the album Soultrane in 1958, the performance captures Paul Chambers at 22 to 23 years old. "You Say You Care" is a romantic ballad with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Leo Robin, written for the 1949 Broadway musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
