Benny Golson
Tenor Sax Solo on
Come Rain Or Come Shine

About

Benny Golson's tenor sax solo is the second of 4 solos on this recording, following Bobby Timmons's piano and followed by Lee Morgan on trumpet. Spanning one chorus of the 32-bar ABA'C form at a medium-up 142 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 55 seconds. Tenor saxophonist Benny Golson follows with a chorus of expansive, melodically rich improvisation, his full tone and thoughtful phrasing perfectly suited to Arlen's dramatic harmony. Benny Golson was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1958 recording.
