Voice Solo on
Just Friends

About

Michael Mayo closes out the solos on voice with one chorus, following Shai Maestro at approximately 169 BPM. Set within a funk groove, the 32-bar ABAC form and the key of G, the solo navigates the chord changes with purpose. Coming last in the solo order, Mayo has the task of building on everything that came before while steering the performance back toward the closing head. Michael Mayo's interpretation on his 2024 album Fly radically reimagines the tune with a funk feel at approximately 168 beats per minute in the key of G.

Michael Mayo was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
