About
Taking the 3rd solo, this voice improvisation spans three choruses of the 12-bar blues at an uptempo 203 BPM. "It's Pronounced George" is an original blues by Caity Gyorgy from her album Featuring, recorded in 2021. Gyorgy's vocal improvisation demonstrates harmonic awareness and rhythmic agility comparable to the instrumental soloists, using scat syllables and melodic invention to navigate the changes. The uptempo pace demands rhythmic precision and quick harmonic thinking, with the soloist navigating the changes at speed while maintaining musical direction. Situated between Virginia MacDonald's clarinet solo and Felix Fox-Pappas's turn on piano, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.
Caity Gyorgy was 22 to 23 years old at the time.
