Vic Juris
Electric Guitar Solo on
My Ideal

About

Vic Juris's electric guitar solo is the 2nd of 3 on this recording, following Stephen Riley's tenor sax and followed by Jay Anderson on acoustic bass. Spanning two choruses of the 16-bar AA' form at a ballad tempo of 56 BPM in E♭, the solo runs approximately 2:16. Guitarist Vic Juris follows with two choruses of electric guitar that explore the tune's harmonic beauty with a similarly restrained sensibility. Stephen Riley's interpretation of Richard Whiting's "My Ideal" on the 2019 album I Remember You is a tender ballad performance that highlights the tenor saxophonist's gift for intimate, lyrical playing. Vic Juris was 65 to 66 years old at the time of this 2019 recording.
