Sam Dillon
Tenor Sax Solo on
Night and Day

About

Opening the solo section, this tenor sax improvisation spans two choruses of the 48-bar form at a medium-up swing tempo of 159 BPM. This 2018 performance of Cole Porter's "Night and Day" from Sam Dillon's Out in the Open presents one of the most enduring songs in the Great American Songbook in a straightforward swing setting. The 48-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Following this solo, Peter Zak takes over on piano.
