The album of solo piano performances by Lynne Arriale was recorded at the HCC Ybor Performing Arts Center on October 2, 2011.[1] The material is a mix of standards and Arriale originals.[2]
Solo was released by Motéma Music in 2012.[2] The JazzTimes reviewer concluded: "Arriale proves as comfortable in a solo setting as she's been in the company of others".[4] The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "This solo outing will likely become one of the landmark recordings of her career."[1] Critic John Fordham in The Guardian wrote that "The accents in Arialle's swing don't always sound nailed [...] but her harmonic and melodic resources have rarely sounded in more inventive fettle."[3]
