Josh Johnson
Alto Sax Solo on
All or Nothing at All

About

Taking the 2nd solo, this alto sax improvisation spans one chorus of the 64-bar AABA form at a brisk latin feel at 191 BPM. Josh Johnson follows with one equally developed chorus of alto saxophone at 191 BPM, the two saxophonists offering contrasting interpretations of the same harmonic territory. This is the longest solo on the recording in terms of chorus count, suggesting a featured role in the arrangement. The extended 64-bar AABA form, with its demanding bridge section, tests the soloist's command of harmony and endurance at speed. Situated between Daniel Rotem's tenor sax solo and Alex Boneham's turn on acoustic bass, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.
