Tivon Pennicott
Tenor Sax Solo on
Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum

About

Tivon Pennicott takes three choruses on tenor sax as the sole soloist on this recording. Taken at a medium swing tempo of 118 BPM over the 24-bar ABA in C, the improvisation proceeds with patient, unhurried deliberation. Pennicott delivers three substantial choruses through the 24-bar ABA form at a medium-swing tempo, his solo demonstrating a mature command of the tune's sophisticated harmonic language. Recorded for the album NY Standard in 2015, the performance captures Tivon Pennicott at 29 to 30 years old. Ari Hoenig's NY Standard series takes on Wayne Shorter's "Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum" with a focused, intimate performance that highlights Tivon Pennicott's tenor saxophone.

Tivon Pennicott was 29 to 30 years old at the time.
