Julieta Eugenio
Tenor Sax Solo on
You Are Too Beautiful

About

Julieta Eugenio's tenor saxophone solo is the first of two solos on this 2020 duo performance of Richard Rodgers's "You Are Too Beautiful" with bassist Clovis Nicolas. She takes one chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a ballad tempo of 61 BPM in C, bringing warmth and lyrical sensitivity to this intimate setting. The duo format places her tenor playing in a particularly exposed context, where every melodic and tonal choice is audible. She is followed by Nicolas's half-chorus bass solo.

Julieta Eugenio was 29 to 30 years old at the time.
