  • no today can blow like that no that I know of.

  • eddie jefferson recorded this and renamed it "i got the blues" and added vox, ala vocal ease

  • wow

  • PRES. IS GREAT !

    thank you so much

  • @archlordXd0 where do you think they got bop from :D

  • My teacher has me transcribing this, which i believe every great jazz musician has. Even if this is early jazz this is no less complicated then what modern jazz has put out today.

  • @archlordXd0

    so true

    

  • Funny. Some of the ideas coined by Lester Young, you can hear strongly in early bop.

  • waiii
