About

Michael Mayo opens the solo section on voice, stretching out for one chorus at approximately 175 BPM. Set within a funk groove, the 32-bar ABAC form and the key of E♭, the solo navigates the chord changes with purpose. As the first voice heard after the head, Mayo sets the improvisational tone before passing to Linda May Han Oh. Michael Mayo's interpretation on his 2024 album Fly reimagines this jazz classic with a funk feel at approximately 175 beats per minute in E-flat, applying the same genre-transforming approach he brings to other standards on the album.

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