Shai Maestro
Piano Solo on
Bag of Bones

About

Shai Maestro is the only soloist on this recording, playing piano at approximately 179 BPM. Set within a straight feel, the key of E, the solo navigates the chord changes with purpose. Pianist Shai Maestro, an acclaimed Israeli jazz musician known for his work with Avishai Cohen and his own trio, delivers a compact but expressive solo that bridges the gap between the song's pop sensibility and jazz improvisational depth. The moderate pace allows the soloist to develop ideas with both rhythmic variety and melodic breadth. "Bag of Bones" is an original composition by Michael Mayo from his 2024 album Fly.

Shai Maestro was 36 to 37 years old at the time.
