About
John Coltrane's tenor sax solo is the closing of 4 solos on this recording, following Hank Mobley's tenor sax. Spanning two choruses of the 64-bar AABA form at a brisk 344 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 1:28. John Coltrane closes the horn solo sequence with two choruses that reveal his rapidly developing harmonic conception, his characteristic density of notes creating an almost overwhelming sonic intensity at this speed. John Coltrane was 30 to 31 years old at the time of this 1957 recording. "The Way You Look Tonight" is a popular standard with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Dorothy Fields, composed in 1936 for the RKO film Swing Time.
