Chas,
I do "Round Midnight" around the house, Harlem Nocturne (with all of the original licks). Lots of guys play it but leave off much of the licks that make it a great tune.

I do "Mood Indigo" and many others that I put in BIAB. There's also a Fake Book for BIAB with close to 1000 tunes. I've learned many of them.

The problem is where I live I have to do the POP stuff. Can you imagine a guy with denims, a plaid shirt and scuffed up cowboy boots requesting "My Romance," "My One And Only Love," "Darn That Dream," "Perdido." Ha ha!
I can get by if I stick with "Night Train."

Chas not trying to find fault or put you on the spot, but is your group pretty tight like this group you posted? I've heard groups play the chart very tight after playing it many times. However, sometimes the improvisation lacks.

These guys are blowing free and on spot just like Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, and Coltrane use to do. Only these guys didn't do the "Funk" charts, but no one blew freer and swung any better than Dex and the boys.

And I bet this group you posted doesn't play the same solo over and over every night. That is very hard, not to play the same improvisation over and over. To be spontaneous is hard playing night after night. You start playing the same licks over and over. I've done some 5 and 6 night gigs in the 1800's. I think in trying to prevent this from happening, and trying to keep up, caused a bunch of alcoholism and drugs in my day. And especially in the "Hey Day" of Charlie "Bird" Parker, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins and the list goes on and on. These were geniuses.

So are the guys you posted Julliard graduates or just plain geniuses too? that's an excellent post. put up an other like it.

Oh! I almost forgot. It sounds like they had the best experts with the best acoustics and gear to do the recording and video. Man these guys are really working hard with their axes too. I need to give another listen
