Very astute observation! I had to fill a half chorus when the piano would have been playing so I just started blowing. Have fun working on this solo - it's just about my most favorite. By the way, I found a good quality recording of the original and dubbed it over the video and posted it on YouTube :-)

Ah just downloaded the transcription from your web site :)

I guess i'll be working on that for a little while ;)

cheers Doc!

(PS: Does it hurt to have an ingrown nail removed, i'm scared hehe)

I think it needs to be mentioned that the part from 2:47 to 3:12 is improvised by doc himself, I'm pretty sure a lot of people didn't notice that. congratz again, i'm working on the solo myself now, the phrasing is just insane.

Congrats on being such a monster player doc :)

I have heaps of respect for cannonball and find his playing so warm despite being so technically intense.

Peace out mate
