Steven Feifke
Piano Solo on
Driftin'

About

Steven Feifke's piano solo is the 14th of 18 solos on this recording, following Bryan Carter's drums and followed by Chad Lefkowitz-Brown on tenor sax. Spanning two choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a moderate 110 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 2:19. 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.
