Soprano Sax Solo on
Star Eyes

About

Opening the solo section, this soprano sax improvisation spans two choruses of the 36-bar AABA form at a medium-up swing tempo of 173 BPM. Webb takes two choruses on soprano saxophone over the 36-bar AABA form in E-flat at 173 BPM, demonstrating the agile, singing tone that characterizes his soprano work. The 36-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Following this solo, Alan Broadbent takes over on piano.

Doug Webb was 53 to 54 years old at the time.
