About
Marcus Roberts's piano solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Wynton Marsalis's trumpet. Spanning two choruses of the 64-bar AABA form at an up-tempo 220 BPM with a swing feel in C, the solo runs approximately 1:09. This performance showcases the formidable partnership between Marsalis and Roberts, two musicians whose shared commitment to the jazz tradition and virtuosic technique made Marsalis Standard Time, Vol. This recording of Jerome Kern's "The Song Is You" comes from Wynton Marsalis' 1986 album Marsalis Standard Time, Vol. Marcus Roberts was 22 to 23 years old at the time of this 1986 recording.
