Piano Solo on
Spiral

About

Tommy Flanagan's piano solo is the second of 3 solos on this recording, following John Coltrane's tenor sax and before Paul Chambers's closing acoustic bass statement. Spanning one chorus of the 44-bar AABA form at an up-tempo 186 BPM with a swing feel, the solo runs approximately 57 seconds. Tommy Flanagan follows with one chorus of piano that engages thoughtfully with the unusual structure. Tommy Flanagan was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1959 recording.
