Dana Colley
Baritone Sax Solo on
Lisa

About

Dana Colley's baritone sax solo is the sole improvisation on this recording. The free-tempo setting allows the solo to unfold without metric constraints, creating a sense of suspended time. "Lisa" from Morphine's 1992 debut album Good opens with a free-form baritone saxophone solo from Dana Colley that sets the tone for one of the album's most atmospheric tracks. Recorded for the album Good in 1992, the performance captures Dana Colley at 30 to 31 years old. The free-feel introduction allows Colley to explore the timbral possibilities of his instrument without rhythmic constraint, an unusual approach for a rock album that reflects Morphine's willingness to incorporate avant-garde elements into their music.

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