Chad Lefkowitz-Brown
Tenor Sax Solo on
This I Dig of You

About

Opening the solo section, this tenor sax improvisation spans three choruses of the 32-bar ABAC form at an uptempo swing feel at 241 BPM. Taken at a brisk pace well above 200 beats per minute, the arrangement moves quickly into the improvisation, with Lefkowitz-Brown delivering a three-chorus tenor saxophone solo that navigates the tune's distinctive ABAC form with fluid, commanding lines. This is the longest solo on the recording in terms of chorus count, suggesting a featured role in the arrangement. The 32-bar ABAC form, with its non-repeating final section, offers harmonic variety and a sense of forward motion through the changes. Following this solo, David Meder takes over on piano.

Chad Lefkowitz-Brown was 27 to 28 years old at the time.
