Jay Anderson
Acoustic Bass Solo on
Lazy Bird

About

Jay Anderson's acoustic bass solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Joe Magnarelli's trumpet. Spanning half a chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a relaxed 112 BPM with a swing feel in G, the solo runs approximately 36 seconds. This 2018 recording of John Coltrane's "Lazy Bird" from Stephen Riley's album Oleo presents an unusual arrangement of the classic bebop tune. Jay Anderson was 62 to 63 years old at the time of this 2018 recording.
