Dana Colley
Baritone Sax Solo on
Do Not Go Quietly Unto Your Grave

About

Dana Colley's baritone sax solo is the sole improvisation on this recording. Set in a rock feel at 206 BPM, the solo operates within a framework far removed from conventional jazz improvisation. "Do Not Go Quietly Unto Your Grave" from Morphine's 1992 debut album Good features a baritone saxophone solo from Dana Colley that captures the raw intensity of the band's early recordings. Recorded for the album Good in 1992, the performance captures Dana Colley at 30 to 31 years old. Colley's facility on both baritone and tenor saxophones gave the band unusual timbral range, and his baritone work on this track adds a muscular low-end presence that conventional rock bands achieve through distorted guitar.

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