Donald Brown: On Green Dolphin Street

Donald Brown initially settles the melody of this standard on an ostinato by the bass notes of the piano. It will remain a guideline to his whole interpretation. Whatever his virtuoso right hand may do with the harmony and around the melody in the upper register, the left one doesnt just accompany it. It weaves a fascinating, ever-changing rhythmic line that compels our ears to follow both hands at the same time.
