Masami Kuroki
Electric Guitar Solo on
I'll Be Seeing You

About

Taking the 2nd solo, this electric guitar improvisation spans two choruses of the 32-bar ABA'C form at a medium swing tempo of 145 BPM. Kuroki's guitar choruses add a different harmonic color, his chord voicings and single-note lines creating textural variety within the trio format. Kuroki's guitar tone and phrasing reflect a jazz sensibility, with clean articulation and harmonic awareness guiding the improvisation through the form. Situated between Jun Iida's trumpet solo and Kevin McClellan's turn on acoustic bass, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.

Masami Kuroki was 38 to 39 years old at the time.
