Cuban pianist Pedro "Peruchín" Jústiz sends off his solo with this soaring ascending scalar line in quadruple octave unison.

He brings it back down to the middle register by way of a V I cadence using block chords, followed by a Tatum-like pentatonic run.

The run uses the F minor pentatonic scale, also known as the Ab major pentatonic scale, over D7 harmony, in order to arrive at G major to begin the next phrase.
