Kenny Drew
Piano Solo on
I'm Old Fashioned

About

Kenny Drew's piano solo is the 2nd of 3 on this recording, following Curtis Fuller's trombone and followed by Lee Morgan on trumpet. Spanning one chorus of the 36-bar ABA'A'' form at a ballad tempo of 79 BPM in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:48. Kenny Drew follows with a single piano chorus that demonstrates his gift for crafting elegant, harmonically rich improvisations at ballad tempo. "I'm Old Fashioned" is a ballad performance from John Coltrane's 1957 album Blue Trane, offering a lyrical contrast to the album's more intense up-tempo vehicles. Kenny Drew was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1957 recording.
