[SharpieJazz]

While this isn't bad playing... This arrangement does not suit the spirit of this tune. It is way too fast and missing some key harmonic elements. (ie the chromatic descending dom9 chord for the first 4 bars of the first chorus of each solo.)

Just my opinion.

Not bad!!!

Really not bad!!!

I chose to give it a try since it is the only version of pussy cat dues on the tube... and i'm really not regretting it!!!

Keep on playing guys! :)
