Round Midnight and things

 This is a rather poor un edited blog post. Not able to make the time to get this into a better format but will work on it. 

1. Charlie Haden Solo on Round Midnight- Very spacious and melodic.  Love the way he holds the b6 on  the last A.



Next:

Play Along Round Midnight




Last: 
Memorized Larry Grenadier Solo on Cheryl

    Yea Tom! That was a lot of stuff you covered. Nice job on everything! Haden solo was really great... such a slow tempo. Ballads are very challenging!, well played. Cool that you got BIAB working for you. Hours of fun! Totally need to get my shit together.

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.

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.

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. ☺
