Harold Land
Tenor Sax Solo on
Daahoud

About

Harold Land delivers one chorus of tenor saxophone on this alternate take of "Daahoud," his robust sound cutting through the ensemble with authority. Soloing third after Clifford Brown and Richie Powell at approximately 242 BPM, Land navigates the AABA form's demanding harmonic terrain with characteristic confidence. His approach to Brown's composition reflects a deep familiarity with its changes, allowing him to construct a coherent improvisation that maintains forward momentum throughout the 32-bar form. The alternate take provides a valuable second perspective on Land's interpretation of this material, complementing his work on the issued master.

Harold Land was 25 to 26 years old at the time.
