Hey, I'm just glad my ears weren't failing me ...
Nothing wrong with taking a 'quote' from someone else ... after all, that guy got it from Gershwin didn't he? ... I enjoy hearing musicians do that, and I like it even better when I pick up on it ...

I've gone back and listened to Benny Golson's original version ... I always marvel at how good Jazz Musicians can take long, interesting, and well played solos based on two chords ...

KILLER! Now, if we could just get Rachelle to sing....wait, there are no words....wouldn't matter, anyway...no one here can understand a word she sings!
My vote for the best post of the year. I'm going to send it to Blue Note right away!
Thanks, Charles... for that "Country" Jazz improvisation. You have a great sense of humor... and "you have some serious chops." Send more soon! ----Mayberry Dave
