About
Pasquale Grasso's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on this relaxed swing performance of the Milton Ager composition. Taking a half chorus of the 32-bar AABA form in B-flat at a gentle 87 BPM, Grasso's solo unfolds at a pace that allows for maximum melodic development within each phrase. The medium-slow tempo highlights the nuance and touch in his playing, his lines conversing intimately with Joy's vocal interpretation of this relatively obscure standard from the late stages of Ager's career.
Pasquale Grasso was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
