Walter Smith III
Tenor Sax Solo on
On the Trail

About

Closing out the solo section, this tenor sax improvisation spans three choruses of the 16-bar form at a medium swing tempo of 136 BPM. The tune's 16-bar form in the key of F is performed at approximately 135 beats per minute, a comfortable medium tempo that allows both saxophonists room for melodic development. Coming after Joshua Redman's tenor sax solo, this is the final improvisation before the ensemble returns to the head.

Walter Smith III was 37 to 38 years old at the time.
