Chad Lefkowitz-Brown
Tenor Sax Solo on
Invitation

About

Chad Lefkowitz-Brown closes the solo section with two choruses of tenor saxophone on "Invitation" at approximately 190 BPM, rounding out the three-soloist sequence on this reading of Kaper's composition. His post-bop approach to the 48-bar ABA' form in C minor provides a generational contrast with Randy Brecker's fusion-influenced trumpet, and his two-chorus statement brings the performance to a satisfying conclusion. Following piano and trumpet solos by Emmet Cohen and Brecker, Lefkowitz-Brown's focused improvisation demonstrates his ability to make a concise yet complete statement within a multi-soloist format.

Chad Lefkowitz-Brown was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
