Kenny Burrell
Electric Guitar Solo on
I Never Knew

About

Opening the solo section, this electric guitar improvisation spans two choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at an uptempo swing feel at 204 BPM. The 32-bar AABA form, a staple of the Great American Songbook, offers both structural clarity and ample harmonic terrain for improvisation. Following this solo, John Coltrane takes over on tenor sax.

Kenny Burrell was 26 to 27 years old at the time.
