Justin Chart
Alto Sax Solo on
Welcome to the Midst

About

Justin Chart's alto saxophone solo opens the improvisation on this ambitious live performance, one of the album's most high-energy tracks. At 208 BPM in A minor in 6/8 time with a driving funk feel and open form, Chart launches the six-solo sequence with an intense opening statement. As the first of six solos (he returns for a second, extended appearance later), his alto sets the performance's exhilarating rhythmic foundation in motion.

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