Dana Colley
Tenor Sax Solo on
You Look Like Rain

About

Dana Colley's tenor sax solo is the sole improvisation on this recording. Set in a rock feel at 100 BPM, the solo operates within a framework far removed from conventional jazz improvisation. "You Look Like Rain" from Morphine's 1992 debut album Good features a tenor saxophone solo from Dana Colley that embodies the band's distinctive low-rock aesthetic. Recorded for the album Good in 1992, the performance captures Dana Colley at 30 to 31 years old. Frontman Mark Sandman's compositions eschewed guitar entirely, relying instead on his bass and Colley's saxophones to provide the harmonic and melodic framework. "You Look Like Rain" is a song written by Mark Sandman for Morphine's 1992 debut album Good, released on the Rykodisc label.

Dana Colley was 30 to 31 years old at the time.
