Chad Lefkowitz-Brown
Tenor Sax Solo on
Blue Monk

About

Chad Lefkowitz-Brown's tenor sax solo is the opening of 2 solos on this recording, before Dan Chmielinski's closing acoustic bass statement. Spanning six choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at a moderate 100 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 2:57. The pianoless trio format places extra harmonic responsibility on Chmielinski's bass lines throughout, and the open texture allows Lefkowitz-Brown's tenor sound to fill the sonic space more fully than a standard quartet arrangement would permit. Chad Lefkowitz-Brown was 30 to 31 years old at the time of this 2020 recording.
