Au Privave: Sonny Stitt solo

Bebop.... jeeze...  bebop.  Never really got that language into my ears/hands/nose.  This solo is pure bop.  Gonna do more bebop over the coming months.  Sonny Stitt is a fav right now.  Short and intense solos and the recordings are a lot easier (better quality) than Bird's.  Every note is perfect.   (Not mine... his) Might even try to get some heroin before the next solo.  12 bar F blues.  Didn't add the chords.   Anywhoo...

Walkin solo by Miles Davis

Absolutely loved this one. For the most part it is easy to play except the few triplet and 16th note lines. Great use of space. I will probably take more out of this solo than any other horn solo.

Careful: Jim Hall solo

 This is a Jim Hall composition that he recorded several times during his career.  This version is from a Gary Burton album " Something's Coming!" from 1963. I have been really into Jim this past month. Truly the father of modern Jazz guitar. Solo sounds easy, but it gave me some trouble. Even though Jim isn't known as a technical player, he has his moments with rakes and slurs that are hard to replicate. Amazing sense of rhythm and melody. You are going to see and hear lots more of Jim in the coming months. ☺

St. Thomas _Sonny Rollins solo...

Great solo by Sonny Rollins. Been meaning to learn this forever. Had not been able to get it past 80% but gave a stab at it a few days ago at 100% and here it is .... so much info in this recording.
