Hank Jones
Piano Solo on
Love For Sale

About

Hank Jones's piano solo is the closing of 3 solos on this recording, following Miles Davis's trumpet. Spanning a quarter chorus of the 64-bar AABA form at a medium-up 177 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 23 seconds. The rhythm section of Jones, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Art Blakey provides a powerful foundation, with Blakey's driving polyrhythms pushing the soloists to greater heights of intensity. Hank Jones was 39 to 40 years old at the time of this 1958 recording.
