Tom Jedynak
Drums Solo on
This I Dig of You

About

Closing out the solo section, this drums improvisation spans one chorus of the 32-bar ABAC form at an uptempo 210 BPM. Otto and Jedynak contribute bass and drum solos respectively on several tunes. Jedynak's drum solo draws on the jazz tradition of melodic percussion, using the full kit to create dynamic contrast and maintain the energy of the performance. The uptempo pace demands rhythmic precision and quick harmonic thinking, with the soloist navigating the changes at speed while maintaining musical direction. Coming after Paul Kreibich's keyboard solo, this is the final improvisation before the ensemble returns to the head.
