This is part of my research on jazz pedagogy.
By transcribing and performing many great jazz solos I hope to demonstrate that string players can swing as hard as horn players. There are certainly many right and left hand challenges but with imagination and practice playing jazz on a string instrument is very possible.
For those of you interested in seeing the transcription of this solo: http://bit.ly/fSUIUf

I play jazz violin and I respect that you're trying to learn from the greats, and good job transcribing the solo, but to be honest... you play too classically! I would suggest that you need to work on not just the notes but having the same articulation as a brass player.

it looks like you are miming it.......a Milli Vinilli version.

This is a pretty good effort. Ingraining a sense of swing, jazz articulation, note choice and general smooth line work takes years, and the best way to do so is to be playing regularly with musicians more advanced their yourself.
I'm sure you're aware of Turtle Island String Quartet, especially their Coltrane tribute album which completely blew my mind on horn-like violin playing.

Yes - I know he is a trumpet player. But I'm a violinist interested in the sound of the trumpet.
