Piano Solo on
Romance Without Finance

About

Clyde Hart's piano solo is the second of three improvisations on this recording, following Parker's alto saxophone. Taking a quarter chorus of the 32-bar AABA form in E-flat at 189 BPM, Hart contributes a brief piano statement. His compact solo reflects the transitional style of a musician bridging the swing and bebop eras, his piano work adding a different textural voice to the performance.

Clyde Hart was 33 to 34 years old at the time.
