Russell Malone
Electric Guitar Solo on
Boulevard of Broken Dreams

About

Russell Malone's electric guitar solo opens the improvised portion of this recording, followed by Diana Krall on piano. Spanning half a chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a relaxed 74 BPM with a latin feel in F, the solo runs approximately 55 seconds. Guitarist Russell Malone takes the first solo with a half-chorus, his warm electric guitar tone lending a nocturnal, melancholic quality to the performance. This recording of Harry Warren's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" comes from Diana Krall's 1995 album All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio. Russell Malone was 31 to 32 years old at the time of this 1995 recording.
