Solo Live is an album of unaccompanied saxophone and clarinet solos by David Murray recorded live on May 30, 1980 in Nyon, Switzerland. Originally released on the Cecma label as two separate LPs it was rereleased as a single CD in 1997.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "Murray, who doubles here on bass clarinet, tears into five of his originals (best known are "Sweet Lovely" and "Flowers for Albert"). The improvising is quite free, exploratory, and sometimes violent, although there are a few strong melodies".
