saxophone solo
Brass player's feature
A saxophone solo is an extended passage in a piece of music where the saxophone plays alone or as the featured instrument above accompaniment.
Jazz standards typically include space for improvised solos: She closed her eyes during the saxophone solo.
The term also describes the stereotypical romantic or dramatic sax break in pop ballads and film scores, sometimes invoked ironically: Cue the saxophone solo.
