About

Bill Evans's piano solo is the closing of 4 solos on this recording, following Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's alto sax. Spanning two choruses of the 32-bar ABAB' form at a medium-up 154 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:51. Evans closes the solo section with two choruses of piano that showcase his revolutionary harmonic conception. This was recorded on Miles Davis's 32nd birthday at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in New York City. Bill Evans was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1958 recording.
