Ken Weiner
Tenor Sax Solo on
Public Eye

About

Taking the 2nd solo, this tenor sax improvisation spans fifteen choruses of the 12-bar blues at a blazing 247 BPM. Weiner's tenor saxophone improvisation unfolds with an assured sense of melodic direction, each phrase building naturally on what came before. The uptempo pace demands rhythmic precision and quick harmonic thinking, with the soloist navigating the changes at speed while maintaining musical direction. Situated between Jun Iida's trumpet solo and Paul Kreibich's turn on keyboard, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.

Ken Weiner was 43 to 44 years old at the time.
