About

Chad Lefkowitz-Brown's tenor sax solo is the 18th of 20 solos on this recording, following Dan Chmielinski's acoustic bass and followed by Steven Feifke on piano. Spanning seven choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a bright 240 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 3:48. The composition is a contrafact based on the chord changes of "I Got Rhythm." Lefkowitz-Brown adapts Parker's alto saxophone legacy to tenor, navigating the bebop vocabulary at demanding tempos. Chad Lefkowitz-Brown was 31 to 32 years old at the time of this 2021 recording.
