Very astute observation! I had to fill a half chorus when the piano would have been playing so I just started blowing. Have fun working on this solo - it's just about my most favorite. By the way, I found a good quality recording of the original and dubbed it over the video and posted it on YouTube :-)
I think it needs to be mentioned that the part from 2:47 to 3:12 is improvised by doc himself, I'm pretty sure a lot of people didn't notice that. congratz again, i'm working on the solo myself now, the phrasing is just insane.

Congrats on being such a monster player doc :)
I have heaps of respect for cannonball and find his playing so warm despite being so technically intense.
Peace out mate

you sound awesome!
I'm learning this tune right now, and i was trying to find a recording of this. What record did you transcribe this off of?

I think this is from one of Jamey Aebersold's volumes. This definately sounds like the play along CD.
You should try them out, many standards in these series.
