Electric Guitar Solo on

About

Pasquale Grasso's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on this swinging rendition of the Will Hudson classic. Taking one full chorus of the 32-bar AABA form in C at 132 BPM, Grasso delivers a thoroughly engaging solo that demonstrates his command of the mainstream jazz guitar tradition. The familiar framework of this 1933 standard provides an ideal setting for his improvisational style, his lines weaving through the well-known harmony with inventiveness and rhythmic vitality.

Pasquale Grasso was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
