Tricotism Solo by Ray Brown

 This is from the same killer Oscar Peterson recording that Kadota's Blues is from. Live at the London House 1961. Must of been a good week. This again reminds me that Ray Brown is indeed one of the best jazz players around. SO much feel and chops... Going to need to work on this for a lot longer.

    Man! That's just great. You have really opened my ears to Ray and his genius. I really need to spend some quality time with this recording. You sound great playing this. I can tell you love the solo, and I think you squeezed a lot of feel out of it. Especially the really melodic passages. Great job.

There will never be another you: Chet Baker Solo

I have come to the conclusion that I stray too far from the melody when soloing.  This is a perfect example of melodic development and embellishment.  Very short, but great little solo.  Didn't put any great effort into the notation...  but oh well.

In Your Own Sweet Way: Steve Masakowski Solo

The first double-time line in the second chorus kicked my ass.  Finally just threw my hands at it and came close...  then had a few other flub-ups along the way.  Love this guy's chord solo approach.  Loads of useable stuff here, especially the self-comping.  Starting to get my head around his style... may even do another Masakowski solo soon, to complete my transformation.

Faith in You: Pat Metheny Solo: March

This all started by you sending me a bunch of charts.   Faith in you was one of them.  I had decided to keep mining the Frisell vein, and spent a lot of time listening to this tune.   Getting it in my ears, so to speak.  It was Pat's solo resonated more in the end.  Amazing!!  Frigging triads throughout.  So melodic.  Such simple and beautiful melodies.  Pat also ornaments nearly every note.  Muting, slipping, sliding, etc.  A couple of rough patches, but very playable.  Fuddled my way to "good enough"....  also note the Ibanez PM-200 guitar!
