About

Michael Mayo closes out the solos on voice with one chorus, following Shai Maestro at approximately 201 BPM. Set within a swinging rhythmic framework, the 32-bar ABAC form and the key of F, 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 version on his 2024 album Fly presents the tune at a brisk swing tempo of approximately 201 beats per minute in the key of F, maintaining a traditional rhythmic approach that contrasts with the album's more genre-blending tracks.

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