Doug Webb
Tenor Sax Solo on
I Remember You

About

Closing out the solo section, this tenor sax improvisation spans two choruses of the 36-bar AABA form at a medium-up swing tempo of 173 BPM. Written by Victor Schertzinger with lyrics by Johnny Mercer for the 1942 film The Fleet's In, the song has been a favorite of jazz musicians for its graceful melody and appealing harmonic framework. The 36-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Coming after Alan Broadbent's piano solo, this is the final improvisation before the ensemble returns to the head.

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