Kenny Drew
Piano Solo on
You're Driving Me Crazy

About

Kenny Drew's piano solo is the closing of 2 solos on this recording, following Chet Baker's trumpet. Spanning half a chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a medium-up 142 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 27 seconds. Pianist Kenny Drew follows with a half-chorus solo that brings a slightly more angular, bebop-influenced perspective to the harmony, creating an effective contrast with Baker's smoother approach. Kenny Drew was 29 to 30 years old at the time of this 1958 recording.
