About
Kenny Drew's piano solo is the closing of 2 solos on this recording, following Chet Baker's voice. Spanning 0.6 choruses of the 40-bar AABA' form at a medium-up 151 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 39 seconds. Pianist Kenny Drew follows with an extended solo spanning roughly 60 percent of a chorus, bringing a more harmonically adventurous approach that contrasts effectively with Baker's melodic simplicity. Kenny Drew was 29 to 30 years old at the time of this 1958 recording.
