Bob Berg
Tenor Sax Solo on
Time in Place

About

Bob Berg's tenor sax solo is the second solo on this recording, following Mike Stern on electric guitar. Set in D♭ at a slow 78 BPM with a rock feel, tenor saxophonist Bob Berg, who like Stern was a former Miles Davis sideman, contributes a solo that modulates to D-flat, his muscular sound and inventive phrasing adding a different dimension to the performance. Berg's tenor saxophone work reflects a balance of technical fluency and melodic storytelling, building intensity through the course of the improvisation.

Bob Berg was 35 to 36 years old at the time.
