Bill Clinton
Tenor Sax Solo on
Every Day I Have the Blues

About

Bill Clinton's tenor sax solo is the sole improvisation on this recording. Spanning two choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at a medium-up 159 BPM with a swing feel in G, the solo runs approximately 55 seconds. Clinton's solo is modest in scope and technique compared to professional jazz recordings, but it represents a unique intersection of American political and musical culture and remains one of the most unusual entries in the AllSolos catalog. Bill Clinton was 46 to 47 years old at the time of this 1993 recording. "Every Day I Have the Blues" is a twelve-bar blues composed by brothers Aaron "Pinetop" Sparks and Milton Sparks in 1935.
