A 1993 recording of President Bill Clinton playing tenor saxophone on Every Day I Have the Blues, composed by Pinetop Sparks and Milton Sparks. Clinton performs a two-chorus solo over the 12-bar blues form in G at 159 BPM with a swing feel. Clinton's saxophone playing was a notable element of his public persona during his 1992 presidential campaign and early presidency, most famously showcased during his appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show. While not a professional musician, Clinton played saxophone from his youth through high school, where he was a first-chair player and briefly considered pursuing music as a career. This performance captures the 42nd president engaging with the blues tradition in a public setting. The tune itself is a classic 12-bar blues that has been performed by B.B. King, Count Basie, and many others. Clinton's solo is modest in scope and technique compared to professional jazz recordings, but it represents a unique intersection of American political and musical culture and remains one of the most unusual entries in the AllSolos catalog.
