Just Friends solo by Chet Baker

This is a great short solo. A few tricky spots still needed to finesse as well as putting it in thumb position but  works well in low range.  

Cheryl, Solo By Larry Grendaier

 Not perfect by any stretch but on the correct path. Love how Larry phrases 8th notes and Triplets. Very rhythmic approach and accurate. Both of these areas I need work on.

DB Blues solo: Lester Young

 Waited too long to get these solos done this month.  I never learn.  First ever Lester transcription.  Blues with a Rhythm changes bridge.  I am still digging around in the saxophonists of yore... maybe I should move on.  Cool melodic lines, and embellishments totally in the swing era.  Could have gotten a cleaner performance on this one... but you get the idea of it.
