Adam Birnbaum
Piano Solo on
Almost Like Being In Love

About

Taking the 2nd solo, this piano improvisation spans two choruses of the 36-bar AABA form at a medium swing tempo of 138 BPM. This is the longest solo on the recording in terms of chorus count, suggesting a featured role in the arrangement. The 36-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Situated between Chad Lefkowitz-Brown's tenor sax solo and Eric Wheeler's turn on acoustic bass, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.

Adam Birnbaum was 38 to 39 years old at the time.
