Alto Sax Solo on
Dancing In The Dark

About

Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's alto sax solo is the sole improvisation on this recording. Spanning half a chorus of the 32-bar AA' form at a ballad tempo of 65 BPM in F, the solo runs approximately 1:05. The track showcases Adderley's underappreciated gifts as a ballad player, with his half-chorus alto saxophone solo demonstrating a lyrical sensitivity that his more famous uptempo performances sometimes obscure. Julian "Cannonball" Adderley was 29 to 30 years old at the time of this 1958 recording.
