Paul Kreibich
Keyboard Solo on
All Of You

About

Closing out the solo section, this keyboard improvisation spans three choruses of the 32-bar AA' form at a medium-up 164 BPM. Kreibich's keyboard solo brings a pianistic sensibility to the performance, blending harmonic sophistication with rhythmic drive. The subtle harmonic differences between the A and A' sections invite the soloist to shape phrases that reflect the form's modified structure. The composition by Cole Porter provides a rich harmonic canvas that rewards the soloist's exploration of its melodic and harmonic possibilities. Coming after Jun Iida's trumpet solo, this is the final improvisation before the ensemble returns to the head.

Paul Kreibich was 61 to 62 years old at the time.
