Jay Anderson
Acoustic Bass Solo on
Valse Hot

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 form at a relaxed 110 BPM with a waltz feel in A♭, the solo runs approximately 54 seconds. "Valse Hot," another Sonny Rollins composition, receives an intimate waltz treatment on Stephen Riley's 2018 album Oleo. Jay Anderson was 62 to 63 years old at the time of this 2018 recording.
