Re: Giant Steps
Hot. If you can do that for an hour without repeating yourself during solos, then you should be acknowledged as a jazz pro on the stick, at least as far as single note improvisation is concerned. Get someone who regularly contributes to wikipedia to make a page for you.

Re: Giant Steps
Hmmmn, I hereby bestow the title of "jazz pro" to Brett.
Only rock guys can give that title out, by the way... Lol

Re: Giant Steps
I third it but I did see a statement in a publication by a reputable source that being able to play for an hour and improvise during the solo sections without repeating yourself was the mark of a pro. If Brett's not there yet, I'm sure he will be...maybe tomorrow.

Re: Giant Steps
Brett .... incredibly impressive! I have watched the video 6-7 times now and , holy SHYTE!!! You are moving and grooving, fluid, smooth, and you make it appear effortless. I can't even imagine how much work was involved, and how long it took you to get this down pat. I'm 10 months in and I can't begin to even imagine playing like that ever!! 5 thumbs up!!!
IMHO, there is no discussion about whether you are a "jazz pro"... watch... listen.... that's all the proof I needed!
