Chad Lefkowitz-Brown
Tenor Sax Solo on
When Will The Blues Leave

About

Opening the solo section, this tenor sax improvisation spans nine choruses of the 12-bar blues at an uptempo swing feel at 239 BPM. Ornette Coleman's deceptively simple blues gets a high-energy, extended treatment in this 2018 recording from tenor saxophonist Chad Lefkowitz-Brown's Standard Sessions series. The 12-bar blues form provides a familiar harmonic framework that invites inventive melodic and rhythmic exploration. Following this solo, Steven Feifke takes over on piano.

Chad Lefkowitz-Brown was 28 to 29 years old at the time.
