About
Kenny Kirkland's piano solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Kenny Garrett's alto sax. Spanning one chorus of the 43-bar form at a moderate 152 BPM with a waltz feel in F, the solo runs approximately 53 seconds. Kenny Kirkland follows with a single piano chorus of comparable beauty, his harmonic imagination finding expressive possibilities in the waltz rhythm and the piece's distinctive formal architecture. "Books & Toys" is a graceful waltz composition from Kenny Garrett's 1992 album Black Hope, showcasing the alto saxophonist's lyrical side within an unconventional 43-bar form in F major. Kenny Kirkland was 36 to 37 years old at the time of this 1992 recording.
