About

Bill Evans's piano solo is the closing of 3 solos on this recording, following John Coltrane's tenor sax. Spanning 0.4 choruses of the 40-bar AABAB form at a moderate 112 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 34 seconds. Bill Evans contributes a brief but illuminating piano statement of less than half a chorus. 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.
