Christine Jensen
Alto Sax Solo on
It's Pronounced George

About

Opening the solo section, this alto sax improvisation spans three choruses of the 12-bar blues at a medium-up 197 BPM. Jensen's alto saxophone improvisation unfolds with clarity and purpose, navigating the form with well-constructed lines and rhythmic variety. The composition by Caity Gyorgy provides a rich harmonic canvas that rewards the soloist's exploration of its melodic and harmonic possibilities. Following this solo, Virginia MacDonald takes over on clarinet.

Christine Jensen was 50 to 51 years old at the time.
