About
Paul Chambers's acoustic bass solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Wynton Kelly's piano. Spanning half a chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a medium-up 169 BPM with a swing feel in A♭, the solo runs approximately 24 seconds. The rhythm section of Kelly, Chambers, and drummer Art Blakey provides one of the most swinging foundations in recorded jazz, their collective groove an irresistible invitation to musical conversation. "Remember" is a warm, swinging reading of Irving Berlin's standard that opens Hank Mobley's masterpiece Soul Station, recorded in 1960 for Blue Note. Paul Chambers was 24 to 25 years old at the time of this 1960 recording.
