I just found this video again and man, this solo is timeless. Every single second is full of some the most beautiful music created in the history of mankind. It has the genius and beauty of the best classical compositions from Baroque to 20th Century periods, fused with the earthy soul and spontaneity of Jazz! Just listen to those 2-5-1 arpeggios where he switches from major to relative minor every beat by moving the 7down to the 6th chord and up again! It's a piece of heaven...

There is so much in this. This guy is sensitive to the promptings of his unconscious. He is a true 20th century genius! He experimented a lot with this tune. It is one of the starting points of "bebob" - one of the grestest achievements of the 20th century (I'm a bebop fan)

man, this song really percolates!

Jesus... THIS makes me want to play Cherokee at this tempo (and no faster)! Swingin' Perfection!
