Jocelyn Gould
Electric Guitar Solo on
Bye Bye Blackbird

About

Taking the 2nd solo, this electric guitar improvisation spans one chorus of the 32-bar AB form at an uptempo swing feel at 205 BPM. The brisk tempo maintains energy throughout the extended solo section, and the slight tempo increase across soloists suggests the natural momentum of a group locked into a deep groove. The 32-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Situated between Caity Gyorgy's voice solo and Thomas Hainbuch's turn on acoustic bass, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.
