The transcription of Lon Price alto saxophone solo on Al Jarreau’s hit song We’re in This Love Together from Breakin’ Away album (Warner Brothers 1981).

The song was the first of three single releases from Jarreau’s fifth studio album, Breakin’ Away, and it was his first and biggest chart hit.

When Al went back in the studio to do another album, “Breakin’ Away”, Tom called me again. This time I got two alto solos “Teach Me Tonight” and “We’re In This Love Forever”. Jay had me double the solo on “We’re In This Love…”, giving it a chorus effect. The album was a smash, winning Al a Grammy for best jazz vocalist of the year (I was nominated for a Grammy “MVP” award on saxophone), and “We’re In This Love Together” made it to number four on the pop singles chart. My solo on that tune became my signature solo, everyone remembered it and could sing it. – Lon Price
