Dana Colley
Tenor Sax Solo on
Whisper

About

The sole improvisation on this track, this tenor sax improvisation runs approximately 68 seconds at a moderate 85 BPM. Colley's tenor phrasing on this track is particularly melodic, with a whispery quality in keeping with the song's title and mood. The tenor saxophone brings a brighter, more cutting quality to the arrangement, its higher register adding timbral variety to the ensemble's overall sound. 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 33 to 34 years old at the time.
