About
Frank Wess's tenor sax solo is the sole improvisation on this recording. Spanning a chorus and a half of the 32-bar ABAC form at a relaxed 103 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:56. The track features a tenor saxophone solo from the veteran Frank Wess, whose one-and-a-half-chorus improvisation over the 32-bar ABAC form in E-flat exemplifies the sophisticated swing-era sensibility that Connick sought to evoke throughout this recording. "Love Is Here to Stay" is a performance of the George Gershwin standard from the 1989 soundtrack album When Harry Met Sally..., which brought pianist and vocalist Harry Connick Jr. Frank Wess was 67 to 68 years old at the time of this 1989 recording.
