About
Justin Chart's alto saxophone solo opens the improvisation on this live recording of his own relaxed funk composition. At 89 BPM in C minor with an open form, Chart delivers a lyrical yet rhythmically charged statement over the deep groove. The moderate tempo creates space for melodic development, and the C minor tonality lends a darker, more introspective quality compared to the album's more driving funk tracks. As the first of two solos, Chart establishes the contemplative mood of the performance.
Justin Chart was 53 to 54 years old at the time.
