holy shit! i cant believe you did that. i went to school w/ Brad at the time of that recording. i can sing back the solo note for note, but you are, well... how long did it take you to do that?

@stevebr551

thanks for the comment - i had a lot of fun transcribing and

learning to play this solo, which took about a month altogether,

although I was working on a lot of other stuff at the same

time - this solo was part of a project i undertook for my

masters degree called "Who could ask for anything more?:

Exploding the traditional harmonic boundaries of rhtyhm

changes" - have posted a bunch of other " out" rhythm

changes solos as well

thanks to all for posting such nice comments - glad you've enjoyed the video

for the record, the audio file is 87% of original tempo - practicing at 100% was killing me, with sharp pains between the 4th and 5th fingers of my right hand, so i dropped the tempo and saved my career

i was in school w/ Brad at the time of this gig. i saw how his style develpoed. first he sounded like wynton kelly, then keith, then he developed his own sound.

i'll tell you a secret, Brad got much of his style from his good friend peter berstein.

i can sing back this solo note for note, never tried to play it, im not that crazy!

all right! great job. Thanks. I'll show it to my students to inspire them in transcribing.

keep up the great job!
