Stephen Riley
Tenor Sax Solo on
Lazy Bird

About

Stephen Riley's tenor sax solo opens the improvised portion of this recording, followed by Joe Magnarelli on trumpet. Spanning half a chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a relaxed 114 BPM with a swing feel in G, the solo runs approximately 37 seconds. This 2018 recording of John Coltrane's "Lazy Bird" from Stephen Riley's album Oleo presents an unusual arrangement of the classic bebop tune. Stephen Riley was 42 to 43 years old at the time of this 2018 recording.
