Shai Maestro
Piano Solo on
Someday My Prince Will Come

About

Shai Maestro takes four choruses on piano as the sole soloist on this recording. The waltz feel at 235 BPM over the 32-bar ABAC in B♭ lends the solo a distinctive lilting three-beat pulse. This 2015 rendition features Shai Maestro delivering four expansive piano choruses through the 32-bar ABAC form at a brisk waltz tempo. Recorded for the album NY Standard in 2015, the performance captures Shai Maestro at 27 to 28 years old. Maestro's solo is a masterclass in thematic development and harmonic exploration, his playing blending the lyrical sensibility of the European classical tradition with the rhythmic freedom of modern jazz.

Shai Maestro was 27 to 28 years old at the time.
