Tenor Sax Solo on
The Blues Walk

About

Harold Land's tenor sax solo is the second of four solos on this recording, following Clifford Brown on trumpet. Spanning seven choruses of the 12-bar Blues form in B♭ at a vigorous 253 BPM with a swing feel, Land follows with seven choruses on tenor saxophone, his robust tone and rhythmic drive matching the intensity set by the trumpeter. Clifford Brown plays backgrounds on chorus 5 and 6 of Harold Land's solo. Harold Land was 26 to 27 years old at the time of this recording.
