Chad Lefkowitz-Brown
Tenor Sax Solo on
Alone Together

About

Opening the solo section, this tenor sax improvisation spans two choruses of the 36-bar AABA form at an uptempo swing feel at 216 BPM. Lefkowitz-Brown opens with a two-chorus tenor saxophone solo across the tune's unusual 36-bar AABA form, navigating the minor-key harmonic landscape with agility and urgency. This is the most concise solo on the recording, making every phrase count within a compact space. The 36-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Following this solo, Manuel Valera takes over on piano.

Chad Lefkowitz-Brown was 27 to 28 years old at the time.
