Unit 7

Sam Jones's tune "Unit 7," is named after a motel room in Detroit (must be a good story there). I have a little difficulty with this head, mainly that line going into the bridge. I tried a few other video takes and was able to nail it, but the rest of the tune didn't have the spontaneity of this first take so I'm posting up this first take even though there are some slight inaccuracies in the head. This is dedicated to my good friend, Volvoxburger.

Very cool Sam Jones tune, even cooler execution here, one of my favorites to play on guitar a la Wes.

[Lot2learn]

I can hear those Wes lines in my head now.

at :14 you didn't include a supreme wynton kelly lick, which i resent. fucking awesome otherwise.

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Thanks, man.

i think its named unit 7 because of the dominant 7 chords....i mean thats the melody. thats what i read...and it makes sense

Nice two-handed chromatic ascension.

[MontgomerylandFunk]

I love Wes' version! Maybe my tag gave that away though...
