About
Kenny Kirkland's piano solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Kenny Garrett's soprano sax. Spanning one chorus of the 88-bar AA' form at a moderate 122 BPM with a waltz feel in D, the solo runs approximately 1:10. Kenny Kirkland follows with a single chorus of piano improvisation, his sophisticated harmonic sensibility ideally suited to the piece's languid, impressionistic mood. "Van Gogh's Left Ear" is one of the more atmospheric compositions on Kenny Garrett's 1992 album Black Hope, featuring the alto saxophonist playing soprano saxophone in a waltz-time setting. Kenny Kirkland was 36 to 37 years old at the time of this 1992 recording.
