Anthony D’Alessandro
Piano Solo on
The Golden Mean

About

Anthony D’Alessandro's piano solo is the 2nd of 3 on this recording, spanning three choruses at approximately 148 BPM. Set within a swinging rhythmic framework, the 24-bar Blues form and the key of C, the solo navigates the chord changes with purpose. Positioned between Benny Benack III and Ernesto Cervini, D’Alessandro bridges the conversation between the two. "The Golden Mean" is a track from pianist Anthony D'Alessandro's 2022 album Searchin', a release that showcases his gift for composing within the hard bop tradition while bringing a contemporary sensibility. Although the tune has a 24 bar blues form, this solo is over a 12 bar blues.
