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 AA' form at a medium-up 164 BPM with a swing feel in G, the solo runs approximately 23 seconds. Pianist Kenny Drew's half-chorus solo also reflects the heightened tempo, his lines more fleet and rhythmically compressed than on the slower take. Kenny Drew was 29 to 30 years old at the time of this 1958 recording.
