Tenor Sax Solo on

About

Harold Land's tenor sax solo is the first of four solos on this recording. Spanning one chorus of the 32-bar ABCA form in F at a brisk 164 BPM with a swing feel, Land opens the improvisation with one chorus of tenor saxophone, his warm tone and thoughtful phrasing setting an inviting mood. 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.
