Wooooooo…..you’re giving a clinic on that solo! Seriously, there are so many “teachable musical moments” that you provide here. I think you’ve got a whole KZread series worth of material just in that one solo. 😊

Seriously though, here are just a few of those “teachable” things that make this solo so great and reasons that I would show this video to everyone I know who wanted to play jazz. 1. Usage of melody in your solo 2. APPROPRIATENESS of how you played given the audience, the band, the tune 3. Vibrato speed based on the style 4. The way you built the solo 5. Growl effect…another example of you playing within the style 6. Use of altissimo in the solo build 7. Playing singable, memorable phrases throughout! 8. Playing the “blues” within this standard! 9. Use of SPACE! Totally Killin!

Super kind Gerald - I love getting to play with that band. I always make sure to practice before my gigs because they're so locked in and SWINGIN'!
