Holger Marjamaa
Piano Solo on
Mac The Knife

About

Closing out the solo section, this piano improvisation spans six choruses of the 16-bar form at a medium-up swing tempo of 195 BPM. Pianist Holger Marjamaa follows with his own six-chorus statement, modulating to D major and maintaining the swinging momentum at a nearly identical tempo. Coming after Chad Lefkowitz-Brown's tenor sax solo, this is the final improvisation before the ensemble returns to the head.

Holger Marjamaa was 26 to 27 years old at the time.
