Adam Levy
Electric Guitar Solo on
Shoot the Moon

About

Adam Levy's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on "Shoot the Moon" from Norah Jones's 2001 debut Come Away with Me. Levy solos over Jesse Harris's wistful composition at a relaxed 75 BPM in C with a straight feel, delivering a melodically restrained statement that serves the song's contemplative mood. The slow tempo and gentle dynamic provide a canvas for Levy's tasteful, minimalist approach, where the spaces between notes are as expressive as the notes themselves. The solo is one of several Levy contributes to the album, establishing his guitar as a key voice alongside Jones's piano and vocals.

Adam Levy was 34 to 35 years old at the time.
