About
Josh Nelson takes the final solo on piano, following Jun Iida. Set within a free feel, the 16-bar 16-Bar form and the key of G, the solo navigates the chord changes with purpose. Coming last in the solo order, Nelson has the task of building on everything that came before while steering the performance back toward the closing head. Pianist Josh Nelson follows with his own improvisation, his playing complementing the flugelhorn's warmth with harmonic depth and a classical sense of phrasing. "Love Theme from Spartacus" is Jun Iida's jazz interpretation of Alex North's renowned film score composition, featured on the 2023 album Evergreen.
Josh Nelson was 44 to 45 years old at the time.
