Julieta Eugenio
Tenor Sax Solo on
I've Never Been In Love Before

About

Julieta Eugenio's tenor saxophone solo is the first of two solos on this 2017 SIJ Trio performance of Frank Loesser's "I've Never Been in Love Before" at Mezzrow. Julieta takes a short solo over the first half of the form, covering half a chorus of the 32-bar AABA at 169 BPM with a swing feel in B-flat. The abbreviated solo demonstrates her ability to make a musical statement in a compact space, setting up Sarah Slonim's piano solo over the second half of the form.

Julieta Eugenio was 26 to 27 years old at the time.
