About
Anthony D’Alessandro's piano solo is the 2nd of 4 on this recording, spanning two choruses at approximately 278 BPM. Set within a swinging rhythmic framework, the 40-bar AABBAA form and the key of D, the solo tests the player's command at high velocity. Positioned between Benny Benack III and Neil Swainson, D’Alessandro bridges the conversation between the two. "Outbreak" is a high-energy original by pianist Anthony D'Alessandro from his 2022 album Searchin'. At this velocity, every phrase must be delivered with conviction and precision. Composed in a distinctive AABBAA form spanning 40 bars in D minor, the tune tears along at nearly 280 bpm, demanding virtuosic command from all four soloists.
