Kenny Kirkland
Piano Solo on
Again, Never

About

Kenny Kirkland's piano solo is the sole improvisation on this recording. Spanning 0.33 choruses of the 24-Bar form at a ballad tempo of 54 BPM in B♭, the solo runs approximately 36 seconds. Kirkland's truncated solo demonstrates the art of saying something profound in a limited space, his harmonic choices reflecting the deep musical intelligence that made him an indispensable member of Branford Marsalis's groups. Kenny Kirkland was 34 to 35 years old at the time of this 1990 recording.
