Joshua Richman
Piano Solo on
Out of Nowhere

About

Taking the 2nd solo, this piano improvisation spans two choruses of the 32-bar ABAB' form at a medium swing tempo of 118 BPM. Three soloists share the spotlight across the 32-bar ABAB' form: Lefkowitz-Brown opens with two choruses of tenor saxophone that emphasize melodic development over sheer speed, followed by pianist Joshua Richman with a two-chorus solo that explores the tune's appealing chord changes with a tasteful, lyrical touch. Situated between Chad Lefkowitz-Brown's tenor sax solo and Raviv Markovitz's turn on acoustic bass, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.
