Steven Feifke
Piano Solo on
Green Chimneys

About

Steven Feifke's piano solo is the second of 18 solos on this recording, following Chad Lefkowitz-Brown's tenor sax and followed by Dan Chmielinski on acoustic bass. Spanning three choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at an up-tempo 190 BPM with a swing feel in A♭, the solo runs approximately 1:59. The ballad performance features half-chorus solos from Chmielinski, Feifke, and Lefkowitz-Brown, demanding the slow-tempo patience and melodic clarity that Monk's music requires. Steven Feifke was 29 to 30 years old at the time of this 2021 recording.
