@kaeli8 Any instrument can be a successful jazz instrument if they just take the time to learn the vocabulary....

Bud called it Collard Greens and Blackeye Peas

Thanks for posting - brilliant stuff! He re-tuned his cello in fourths like a bass and played melodic solos - easy to hear where Paul Chambers got his solo style from. OPs Perdido is another brilliant cello performance only available on 78s I think - can one of you brilliant youngsters get your hands on this and post it, I wonder? A comment below gives praise to Bud Powell which is fine. He did not appear here, surely?

I can play this song on the flute although I'm not perfect in it. Don't ask I don't have the sheet music.

Recorded by radio station KGO - from nearby San Francisco, California :I:

Great solo as the one and only Oscar can do.

CELLO FTW!! I love this. Great proof that cello can work as a mainstream jazz instrument.
