Thomas Hainbuch
Acoustic Bass Solo on
East Of The Sun

About

Closing out the solo section, this acoustic bass improvisation spans one chorus of the 36-bar ABAC form at a medium-up swing tempo of 170 BPM. Bassist Thomas Hainbuch closes the solo section with one chorus at 170 BPM, his arco and pizzicato work providing textural contrast. The 36-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Coming after Jocelyn Gould's electric guitar solo, this is the final improvisation before the ensemble returns to the head.

Thomas Hainbuch was 22 to 23 years old at the time.
