Tenor Sax Solo on
Delilah

About

Harold Land's tenor sax solo is the first of four solos on this recording. Spanning one chorus of the 32-bar AABA form in G♭ at a brisk 148 BPM with a swing feel, Land opens the solo section with one chorus on tenor saxophone, his warm, full-bodied sound providing a strong foundation. Harold Land was 25 to 26 years old at the time of this recording. Land's tenor saxophone work reflects a balance of technical fluency and melodic storytelling, building intensity through the course of the improvisation.
