Playing introductions is an art and Herbie's intro to “Ceora" features his expressive touch and beautiful chord voicings. Each chord is played with a different amount of pressure to give it a slightly different sound. Herbie uses the pedal to coax a variety of timbres out of the piano. His solo on this tune is also very subtle. He uses texture and space to give his playing an unhurried elegance and also adds some surprising chord substitutions in his solo. This is one of many wonderful examples of Herbie's depth as an accompanist.
