Alex Boneham
Acoustic Bass Solo on
Along Came Betty

About

Closing out the solo section, this acoustic bass improvisation spans a half chorus of the 34-bar ABCD form at a medium swing tempo of 141 BPM. Bassist Alex Boneham contributes a three-quarter chorus solo that maintains the performance's momentum. This is the most concise solo on the recording, making every phrase count within a compact space. The 34-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Coming after Daniel Rotem's tenor sax solo, this is the final improvisation before the ensemble returns to the head.
