I'll Pass (G Blues): Steve Masakowski Solo

 Back to Masakowski again.  G Blues this time.  Years ago I lifted part of the chord solo (poorly) in the final chorus.  I always wanted to get back to the entire solo.  Some tricky double time passages in this one, but have seen some of these types of phrases in other solos.  That's the nice part of doing multiple solos from an artist.  An ok performance here, but probably could spend a few more days on some problem areas.  "I'll Pass" it on to you now... (oh..hahaha, my side).

  1. First of all Wow! That is just great. There is a year of work just in that solo. Played very well. The close up camera is really effective. I can't wait to jam with you over the blues. Makes me think of our next year of practice challenges.

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.
