Jay Anderson
Acoustic Bass Solo on
Doxy

About

Jay Anderson's acoustic bass solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Stephen Riley's tenor sax. Spanning two choruses of the 16-bar AABA form at a relaxed 114 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 1:08. The tune is a contrafact based on the chord changes of "Ja-Da." Stephen Riley's interpretation of Sonny Rollins's "Doxy" on the 2018 album Oleo presents this beloved hard bop classic at a relaxed medium tempo of approximately 118 BPM. Jay Anderson was 62 to 63 years old at the time of this 2018 recording.
