Justin Chart
Alto Sax Solo on
Eros at Eventide

About

Justin Chart's alto saxophone solo opens the improvisation on this live ballad reading of his own atmospheric composition. At 63 BPM in B minor with an open form, Chart delivers a lengthy and expressive statement that establishes the melancholic mood evoked by the tune's twilight-themed title. As the first of three solos, his extended alto improvisation inhabits the space between notes, making silence and phrasing as important as the notes themselves within the slow-moving harmonic landscape.

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