About
Kenny Garrett's alto sax solo opens the improvised portion of this recording, followed by Kenny Kirkland on piano. Spanning nine choruses of the 24-bar Blues form at a bright 283 BPM with a swing feel in C, the solo runs approximately 3:06. Kenny Kirkland contributes five choruses of piano improvisation that match the leader's fire, his percussive touch and angular melodic ideas creating a compelling contrast to Garrett's fluid alto lines. "Jackie & The Bean Stalk" is a high-energy blues in C minor from Kenny Garrett's 1992 album Black Hope, featuring the alto saxophonist in full cry over an extended 24-bar blues form at a tempo pushing past 280 beats per minute. Kenny Garrett was 31 to 32 years old at the time of this 1992 recording.
