Harold Land
Tenor Sax Solo on
Jacqui

About

Taking the 2nd solo, this tenor sax improvisation spans one chorus of the 36-bar AABA form at a medium-up swing tempo of 183 BPM. Harold Land follows on tenor saxophone with a single chorus of assured, swinging improvisation, demonstrating the understated mastery that made him an ideal foil for Brown's more exuberant style. The 36-bar form provides a defined harmonic landscape for the improvisation. Situated between Clifford Brown's trumpet solo and Richie Powell's turn on piano, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.

Harold Land was 26 to 27 years old at the time.
