About

Antonio Hart's alto sax solo is the second of 4 solos on this recording, following Roy Hargrove's trumpet and followed by Stephen Scott on piano. Spanning three choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a brisk 291 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 1:19. The composition is a contrafact based on the chord changes of "I Got Rhythm." Antonio Hart matches him with three choruses of alto saxophone, the two horn players' competitive energy recalling the spirit of the bebop jam sessions where this tune originated. Antonio Hart was 21 to 22 years old at the time of this 1990 recording.
