Julieta Eugenio
Tenor Sax Solo on
Love Walked In

About

Julieta Eugenio's tenor saxophone solo is the first of two solos on this 2019 trio performance of George Gershwin's "Love Walked In." She takes three choruses of the 32-bar ABAC form at 126 BPM with a swing feel in F, building a substantial improvisation over Gershwin's harmonically rich standard. At 28 to 29, Eugenio's warm tenor tone and thoughtful melodic construction suit the song's romantic character, and the three-chorus length allows her to develop ideas with increasing complexity. Matt Dwonszyk follows on acoustic bass.

Julieta Eugenio was 28 to 29 years old at the time.
