About
Kenny Kirkland's piano solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Kenny Garrett's alto sax. Spanning five choruses of the 24-bar Blues form at a bright 289 BPM with a swing feel in C, the solo runs approximately 1:45. 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 Kirkland was 36 to 37 years old at the time of this 1992 recording.
