Justin Chart
Alto Sax Solo on
Lickity Split

About

Justin Chart's alto saxophone solo opens the improvisation on this live recording of his own high-energy composition. At 126 BPM in E minor with a funk feel and an open form, Chart delivers an energetic statement that sets the tone for the performance. True to the tune's name, his rapid melodic lines and driving rhythmic approach establish the kind of virtuosic intensity that characterizes his best work, launching the solo sequence with the authority of the bandleader.

Justin Chart was 53 to 54 years old at the time.
