About
John Coltrane's tenor sax solo opens the improvised portion of this recording, followed by Curtis Fuller on trombone. Spanning three choruses of the 38-bar AA' form at an up-tempo 248 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:55. Coltrane opens with three choruses of tenor saxophone that set the standard for navigating these complex changes at approximately 248 beats per minute, his running eighth-note lines tracing the harmonic movement with breathtaking precision. "Moment's Notice" is one of the most demanding compositions from John Coltrane's 1957 album Blue Trane, built on a rapidly moving harmonic sequence in the unusual AA' form of 38 bars. John Coltrane was 30 to 31 years old at the time of this 1957 recording.
