Victor Feldman
Piano Solo on

About

Taking the 2nd solo, this piano improvisation spans two choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at an uptempo 205 BPM. Pianist Victor Feldman follows with two elegant choruses that reflect his ability to blend bebop vocabulary with a distinctly personal harmonic sensibility. 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 Wes Montgomery's electric guitar 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.
