Hi, new forum user and new player here. My friend (who plays alto sax) and I are wanting to play Shorter's Black Nile at an upcoming jam session, and we both want to play the melody. However, we were curious about who should play what part on the tune's B section. Should I play the harmony part while my friend plays the main line on sax or vice versa? What's typical? Attached a picture of the relevant section in the sheet music. Thank you.
(Also, obligatory "sorry if this is in the wrong section")
Generally (no hard and fast rule) the sax would take the top line. Thats just because sax will blow guitar out of the water in terms of projection and the top line is usually the melody.
Listen to Miles and Milt Jackson on Bags Groove. Miles plays the melody the first time, while Milt plays the lower line. Then they switch. But whatever miles is playing sounds like the melody because of how much better the instrument cuts through.

Not trying to put Butler down, a few modern guitars they sold were priced at or below market.

Could you make something on the different ways of phrasing/periodisation when locked into 4/4?

For sale is my Lil Dawg ChocoPrince, which is based on the Fender 6G2 Brownface Princeton circuit. This particular amp has the 20 watt transformer upgrade and is outfitted with a pair of 6L6 tubes....
Maybe I got my deal because they liked the sound of my voice, but they didn't charge me shipping (Reverb ad said $350) or sales tax, which together would have been over $770.
