@laughingtiger123 Nothing really missed if you look at the right places :)

@laughingtiger123 I agree but only to the extent that Byas' command of the changes allows him to escape them when he chooses to. I would argue that many contemporary jazz musicians, especially those playing more mainstream jazz, tend to have too literal a conception of the changes and not enough interest in transcending them.

@saxoman1 when you get this one down you should post it!

@alavakian this is true!
... wow @byas throwing in those cycle of 5ths at 1.44! does anyone know an earlier example of this on rhythm changes? maybe tatum?

My god... this is so killer. Every time I think I've heard the greatest track ever - along comes another :)

This isn't fair, Slam. I hate you so much right now.

Very few master piano players or hip bass players.Everybody wants too play modes so it doesn't swing you have to woodshed.Listen too the masters on record or cd It's very few musicians that I can even tolerate.Most of players read well but can't solo, it's a sorry state of affairs.I don't think I 'm a snob as master Dizzy Gillespie told Miles Davis,Jimmy Heath,Clifford Brown you need too be able to play piano because it's right in front of you on the key board then you can transpose

This song is a masterpeice. Genius playing, near telepathic communication. try to find anything then or now with this level of rhythmic and melodic fluidity and precision. I don't think even Byas ever Recorded rc at this high level again.
