About
Opening the solo section, this alto sax improvisation spans a half chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a relaxed 99 BPM. Alto saxophonist Christine Jensen opens the improvisations with a half-chorus that brings her characteristically warm, lyrical approach to the changes. Jensen's alto saxophone improvisation unfolds with clarity and purpose, navigating the form with well-constructed lines and rhythmic variety. The bridge section of the AABA form introduces a contrasting harmonic area that tests the soloist's ability to navigate the shift and return smoothly to the A section material. Following this solo, Lucas Dubovik takes over on tenor sax.
Christine Jensen was 50 to 51 years old at the time.
