Kenny Drew
Piano Solo on
Moment's Notice

About

Kenny Drew's piano solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Paul Chambers's acoustic bass. Spanning two choruses of the 38-bar AA' form at an up-tempo 255 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:14. "Moment's Notice" is one of the most demanding compositions from John Coltrane's 1957 album Blue Trane, built on a rapidly moving harmonic sequence in the unusual AA' form of 38 bars. Kenny Drew was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1957 recording.
