Alto Sax Solo on
Welcome to the Midst

About

Justin Chart's second alto saxophone solo is the fifth of six solos on this high-energy live performance, and the most extended statement on the track. At the heightened tempo of 216 BPM in A minor in 6/8 time, Chart delivers a sprawling improvisation that builds on the momentum generated by the four preceding soloists. His return to the alto saxophone brings the leader's voice back to the foreground with increased intensity, driving toward the performance's climactic conclusion.

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