About
Joe Henderson's tenor sax solo is the second of three solos on this recording, following Freddie Hubbard on trumpet. Set in C at a blazing 276 BPM with a swing feel,"The Intrepid Fox" is an extended, open-form composition from Freddie Hubbard's 1970 album Red Clay, featuring three expansive solos over a fast swing groove in C minor. YouTube and Spotify seem to have misnamed 2 tracks from this Red Clay album: The Intrepid Fox and Cold Turkey. The music here is The Intrepid Fox even though YouTube and Spotify say Cold Turkey.
Joe Henderson was 32 to 33 years old at the time.
