Dana Colley
Baritone Sax Solo on
Candy

About

The sole improvisation on this track, this baritone sax improvisation runs approximately 32 seconds at a mid-tempo 104 BPM. "Candy" is a dark, seductive track from Morphine's Cure for Pain that features Dana Colley's baritone saxophone weaving through a hypnotic groove in G minor. Colley's baritone saxophone occupies the frequency range where a guitar would typically sit, creating the thick, low-end-heavy texture that defined the band's distinctive sonic identity. The composition by Mark Sandman provides a rich harmonic canvas that rewards the soloist's exploration of its melodic and harmonic possibilities.

Dana Colley was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
