I'm not very familiar with Billies Bounce. So I await your interpretation, upon which I'll see the original right after. I find that it is much the preferred way to go. Always listen to the cover before the original, if you've not heard both. I find that's the only way to properly appreciate a cover; otherwise I get bogged down in comparing things, instead of just appreciating something for its own musical expression. It's been rare that I've gone to the original and been disappointed with either after the fact.

I see you've added air breathing to your formidable list of skills. Would that be of the Mouth or Nose Schools of Breathing? Because I've been breathing for a long time, and you should try neck breathing if you can (some minor adjustments to your form--and skin--have to be done first). Don't even waste your time with the other forms of breathing, like those fancy Iron Lung overachievers! :ugeek:

Really fun tune, Charlie Parker is badass... The Abersold books (and CD's) are awesome, really great transcriptions and methodologies. I've played this tune a bunch on guitar, and watching a Larry Cordell video where he talks with a young sax student about the tune kind of inspired me to take another look; really fun, I gotta say! Anyways, I just went over it a few times tonight, no video footage just yet, but it's the next piece of music I have decided to use as a study piece. I was kind of pleased, I started out just reading my transcription down on the melody side, while reading the bass notes down; That escalated to creating another quick arrangement only with the bass side doing 5ths, and then again with R53, and then R5R3, and finally R57R3. Lots more to explore on the bass side while that melody is going on... It has a long ways to go, but I was able to go over the tune several times and play it through at a basic level several times within a two hour period of time. I might try and do the melody in octaves, and develop the bass part so that there are some actual chord stabs (comping) in between the barrage of dominant 7th Arpeggios and 'walk' Stuff... I am thinking that I might try and write a few solos for this, and maybe see if I can't get to a point of being able to make some suitable stuff up from reading down that self created vocabulary. I am totally stoked at digging in tomorrow morning exploring the chord changes and the melody of this tune on the Stick... It's nice to be on the winning side of the learning curve, dudes!

It's always a fun tune to play I will post it when it's done-ish for kicks! The Abersold stuff is a really good resource, we used it a bunch in music school, I have a lot of the materials; The "All Blues" and "How to Play Jazz" is a pretty awesome tome filled with cool ideas and useful information. Having fun jammin' out today, watching a blizzard outside -27deg celsius this morning! Woo!

Seriously, though it's a cool song, so far, so good.

Wow, Flint! That was awesome! Man, what an adventurous song. And I dare say, intimidating. But something to shoot for some day! I can get my head around the monophonic lead, but then we get chords mixed in there too and the bassline--wow, so much going on at once. Well done, Flint! I don't think I've ever heard this before, now that I've heard it. Thanks! And I can't wait to hear what you do with this tune, Scott! I've not heard a lot of the jazzier side of your playing.
