Jay Anderson
Acoustic Bass Solo on
Wild Flower

About

Jay Anderson's acoustic bass solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Vic Juris's electric guitar. Spanning one chorus of the 64-bar ABAB' form at a medium-up 180 BPM with a waltz feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 1:04. Bassist Jay Anderson closes the solo section with a single chorus, maintaining the waltz feel with melodic bass lines. "Wild Flower," Wayne Shorter's haunting waltz composition, receives a deeply personal treatment on Stephen Riley's 2019 album I Remember You. Jay Anderson was 63 to 64 years old at the time of this 2019 recording.
