Chad Lefkowitz-Brown
Tenor Sax Solo on
Straight, No Chaser

About

Chad Lefkowitz-Brown's tenor sax solo is the 11th of 18 solos on this recording, following Steven Feifke's piano and followed by Dan Chmielinski on acoustic bass. Spanning twenty choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at a bright 230 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 4:11. The ballad performance features half-chorus solos from Chmielinski, Feifke, and Lefkowitz-Brown, demanding the slow-tempo patience and melodic clarity that Monk's music requires. Chad Lefkowitz-Brown was 31 to 32 years old at the time of this 2021 recording.
