Ben Wolfe
Acoustic Bass Solo on
Let's Call the Whole Thing Off

About

Ben Wolfe's acoustic bass solo is the second solo on this recording, following Harry Connick Jr. on piano. Spanning half a chorus of the 32-bar AABA form in F at a moderate 132 BPM with a swing feel, Wolfe's half-chorus bass solo provides a melodic counterpoint, his warm tone and lyrical phrasing demonstrating the kind of musical sensitivity that would later make him one of the most respected bassists and composers in jazz. Ben Wolfe was 26 to 27 years old at the time of this recording.
