Victor Feldman
Piano Solo on
So Do It!

About

Taking the 3rd solo, this piano improvisation spans one chorus of the 40-bar AABAC form at a medium-up 195 BPM. Pianist Victor Feldman contributes a polished chorus, and bassist Sam Jones closes the solo section with an abbreviated statement over part of the form. 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. Situated between James Clay's tenor sax solo and Sam Jones's turn on acoustic bass, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.

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