Ted Ludwig and Paul Asbell do a nice duo guitar of “Cantaloupe Island” in this video, Gotta love the tone coming out of the Megas.
And Nate Lopez solo on “CI”. There might be some ideas in these two videos to inspire you. “Cantaloupe Island” is a fantastic tune. “Cantaloupe Island”, “All Blues”, “Round Midnight”, and “Take Five” are all tunes that can heavily influence the mood of a set being open to different grooves, solos, and jams.

Here are the tunes I'll play with my organ trio to open tonight's local jam (a little more straight ahead than usual as the guest organist is a beast but has less experience playing jazz than my regular guy):
Cool Struttin' (Sonny Clark)
Dream (Johnny Mercer)
My Shining Hour (Harold Arlen)
Anthropology (Charlie Parker)
Darn That Dream (Jimmy Van Heusen)
Lullaby of the Leaves (Bernice Petkere)
Amsterdam After Dark (George Coleman)

Did a short set at an annual street jazz festival yesterday. There were a dozen stages with 5 acts per stage. We were a quintet with TP, GT, PF, BA and DS, and joined by a couple of vocalists. There was about 50-60 people at our stage.
Here's the set list:
Strollin'
Sugar
Autumn Leaves
The Man I Love (VO1)
The Nearness of You (VO2)
Candy (VO2)
Blue Bossa
Strollin' was TP's choice, and mine was Sugar. On both of those we played the theme together. PF chose Autumn Leaves and BA Blue Bossa. The VOs chose their own tunes. The quintet was made up of regulars at a monthly jam session that I frequent (Venue B, if you've read my journals). We had one rehearsal last week.
We usually play Candy in Bb at the jam sessions, though the VO key was Eb. I worked out a short solo for each of the VO tunes, basically a half chorus each.
Things ran a little late, and there was another group scheduled right after us, so the leader asked everyone to take just one chorus each on Blue Bossa. Earlier, we all got a chance to stretch out a bit on the first three tunes. Strollin' is one of my favorite tunes; I gleaned some ideas for that from Chet Baker and Emily Remler.

Is this a bad habit?
