Adam Levy
Electric Guitar Solo on
Nightingale

About

Adam Levy's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on "Nightingale" from Norah Jones's 2001 debut Come Away with Me. This is the most uptempo of Levy's contributions to the album, with the solo unfolding at 151 BPM in A with a rock feel over Jones's own composition. The faster tempo and rock-oriented groove bring out a more assertive side of Levy's playing compared to his work on the album's ballads, with more rhythmic drive and energy in his phrasing. The solo demonstrates the versatility that made Levy an ideal collaborator for Jones's genre-blending aesthetic.

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