Nicely done. A word of suggestion: rests can be your friend. Take a break every phrase or so, so the listener can stay focused. Also, Donna Lee begins on the upbeat of two and it sounds like you're starting early on the downbeat.
@shipbassguy Check out this transcription. It matches the one found in the Charlie Parker Omnibook. It's an image - remove the spaces: htt p:// ww w. mindformusic. co m/public/image/donnalee1.bmp
@shipbassguy Nearly every recording I've heard of Donna Lee does indeed start on the downbeat of 3, contrary to his anthology book which has it written as en eighth on the up of 2, tied to an eighth.
@yeebeascurvydawg I didn't hear any major time problems when I listened to it, the first half (I stopped it to comment) I went on your page thinking you would have some videos displaying your solid time and great groove, but I was bummed to see you had no videos. Do you think you could post one with better time so I can see what you are talking about? It would help me to understand how his timing was poor as you say.
Wow this is the first actual video that in fact someone is playing as it was meant by Jaco, straight. Now but a fat back beat under it ;) Just like Jaco's walking bass with Weather Reports Night Passage and you will make me very happy.
As for the notion that songs have to be sung to be considered songs, that would be news to a great many people, including Felix Mendelssohn who wrote 8 volumes of "Songs without Words," each volume containing 6 songs for piano only.
Seriously, it is totally okay to refer to wordless musical pieces as songs, so please don't worry about it. :-)
YES!! I'liked it. Can you send notes, please? I'may make a video with fretless :-) Always fun to try.

Don't mean to pick hairs, but Donna Lee is a tune not a song.
Songs are sung, by definition!
