Bryan Carter
Drums Solo on
Rhythm-A-Ning

About

Bryan Carter's drums solo is the 6th of 18 solos on this recording, following Steven Feifke's piano and followed by Dan Chmielinski on acoustic bass. Spanning 2.75 choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a bright 257 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 1:20. The composition is a contrafact based on the chord changes of "I Got Rhythm." The program features Monk compositions alongside a Herbie Hancock piece that connects to Monk's harmonic world.
