Shai Maestro
Piano Solo on
Frenzy

About

Shai Maestro is the only soloist on this recording, playing piano at approximately 201 BPM. Set within a straight feel, the key of E, the solo navigates the chord changes with purpose. Shai Maestro's piano solo is the centerpiece of the performance, and his playing lives up to the composition's name with urgent, densely packed phrases that push against the rhythmic pulse with controlled abandon. The medium-up tempo provides an energetic canvas for improvisation. "Frenzy" is an original composition by Michael Mayo from his 2024 album Fly. True to its title, the track generates an atmosphere of escalating intensity through its straight-eighth feel at approximately 201 beats per minute in E minor.

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