YEA! Great solo! Swinging and very well played! Enclosures are such a jazzy mechanism to use in jazz. They always sound great, and really one of the building blocks if you go back to early jazz players embellishing the melodies. This has inspired me to put some more though and time into them. Thanks for that!
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.
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. ☺
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.
