@JazzTrumpetBlues funny you say that... if you look up ryan deluna trumpet solo... he plays this exact transcription on flugel.

[JazzTrumpetBlues]

@coreymoore01 Ahh nice I transcribed it about 4 months ago and took it to Solo and Ensemble Contest I've made it my everyday practice to transcribe songs I never get tired of it.

From the riverside album "Blue's moods" in 1959 or 1960. this was a departure from the quintet and sextets that Blue recorded with under the production of orrin keepnews at the time. This quartet allows Blue to stretch out more with that beautiful lyrical style of his and incredible tone. The perfect trumpet player for songs like this..

Oh thank you for posting this marvelous group. Don't hear this tight a group too often.  Cookin' and swingin'. Loved Blue!

今を去ること45年前、池袋西口に「パンセ」なるジャズ喫茶あり­。レコードを買う金がない当時、この曲を何度リクウェストしたか­。墓場に持っていきたい一曲です。この曲におけるWynton Kelly のアドリブは彼生涯の傑作と思ってます。
