Victor Feldman
Piano Solo on
Movin' Along

About

Closing out the solo section, this piano improvisation spans two choruses of the 12-bar blues at a relaxed 87 BPM. Feldman contributes two polished choruses on piano, his classically informed touch adding sophistication to the bluesy framework. Feldman's piano solo draws on the post-bop tradition, deploying well-voiced chords and single-note lines that navigate the harmonic terrain with both precision and swing. Coming after Wes Montgomery's electric guitar solo, this is the final improvisation before the ensemble returns to the head.

Victor Feldman was 25 to 26 years old at the time.
