Electric Guitar Solo on
I'm an Errand Girl for Rhythm

About

Russell Malone's electric guitar solo opens the improvised portion of this recording, followed by Diana Krall on piano. Spanning one chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a bright 261 BPM with a swing feel in C, the solo runs approximately 38 seconds. The tune is a contrafact based on the chord changes of "I Got Rhythm." The Cole original is performed at a brisk swing tempo of approximately 261 BPM in the key of C major, using a 32-bar AABA form built on the chord changes of "I Got Rhythm." Guitarist Russell Malone takes the first solo with one chorus, his electric guitar tone warm and rounded in the style that characterized the original Cole trio recordings. Russell Malone was 31 to 32 years old at the time of this 1995 recording.
