Alex Boneham
Acoustic Bass Solo on
All or Nothing at All

About

Closing out the solo section, this acoustic bass improvisation spans a half chorus of the 64-bar AABA form at a brisk latin feel at 194 BPM. Bassist Alex Boneham contributes a half-chorus solo that adds textural variety to the performance. This is the most concise solo on the recording, making every phrase count within a compact space. The extended 64-bar AABA form, with its demanding bridge section, tests the soloist's command of harmony and endurance at speed. Coming after Josh Johnson's alto sax solo, this is the final improvisation before the ensemble returns to the head.
