Tenor Sax Solo on
Oleo

About

Chad Lefkowitz-Brown's tenor sax solo is the opening of 2 solos on this recording, before Charles Goold's closing drums statement. Spanning six choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a bright 240 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 3:19. The composition is a contrafact based on the chord changes of "I Got Rhythm." Lefkowitz-Brown stretches out over six choruses on tenor saxophone, navigating the familiar but demanding harmonic territory at speed. Chad Lefkowitz-Brown was 30 to 31 years old at the time of this 2020 recording.
