Vic Juris
Electric Guitar Solo on
Wild Flower

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 64-bar ABAB' form at a medium-up 174 BPM with a waltz feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 2:13. Guitarist Vic Juris follows with two choruses of electric guitar improvisation, pushing the tempo slightly as the intensity builds. "Wild Flower," Wayne Shorter's haunting waltz composition, receives a deeply personal treatment on Stephen Riley's 2019 album I Remember You. Vic Juris was 65 to 66 years old at the time of this 2019 recording.
