About
Closing out the solo section, this piano improvisation spans three choruses of the 48-bar ABA form at an uptempo swing feel at 224 BPM. Pianist Adam Birnbaum matches him with three equally substantial choruses, bringing a polished, harmonically rich approach to the same demanding changes. The 48-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Coming after Chad Lefkowitz-Brown's tenor sax solo, this is the final improvisation before the ensemble returns to the head.
Adam Birnbaum was 38 to 39 years old at the time.
