Bob Berg
Tenor Sax Solo on
No Notice

About

Bob Berg's tenor sax solo is the second solo on this recording, following Mike Stern on electric guitar. Spanning four choruses of the 12-bar Blues form in B♭ at a relaxed 96 BPM with a shuffle feel, Berg follows with four equally fiery choruses, his robust tenor sound and bebop-rooted vocabulary bringing a different but complementary energy to the blues form. 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.
