Some old mates playing one of my songs a while back.

Charlie Parker did compose memorable tunes though! My Little Suede Shoes? Yardbird Suite? Who can say it's not memorable? Fantastic!
Everyone is talking Donna Lee or Confirmation or whatever, and it's fine, jazz is the nerds paradise, I got it But it's not all he has done as a composer.
But I agree, a good improvised solo can be counted as composition as well.

This is my first composition recorded.

Here are three of mine, one borderline jazz, one not even close one that sort of bridges the divide

Not sure if this is meant to be tunes we're working on, or already completed and recorded pieces...
But here's a tune I wrote that ended up being the title track off my last album

Sitting back enjoying so many of these...
Fuzz, that tone, those bends...dang.
Uffe...beautifully challenging melody, brilliant clang of open strings
Ragman, bee music, so peaceful, gentle
Jordan, my goodness, I live that agrestive distorted tone, and the arrangement is just killer.
John, the kind of groove (don't wanna say smooth, but it is) jazz I love. Could listen to that all Sunday and any day.
Cleb...old school! Love that sound...and you play a kingpin, so you're obviously smart...
I'm sure I missed a few, and that's just this page. Time to pour an IPA (Solemn Oath SnagLe tooth bandanna) and listen more...
I'll get in too, a tune I wrote a few years back...tried to remember it this afternoon, as I hadn't played it in ages...

I'm enjoying, discovering and getting inspired by a lot of posts on this thread! Thanks a lot!
Here's my contribution, a song that although not a straightforward jazz tune, was born from my desire to play jazz. It's all autoproduced. The Spanish title doesn't mean anything, it's just a bunch of grammatical nonsense that is as disorganized as the structure of the song itself

Thanks fuzz.
As for the polyrhythmic thing, is there a particular section you're referring to? Or just the overall thing?
I think there's a sort of metric modulation in here at some point. That's why I'm asking.
But I chose to notate the entire thing in just one time sig anyway.
I'd originally wrote the whole thing out in 6/8 thinking that would be the easiest way to conceive of the tune. I showed it the guy I was studying arranging with at the time and he was like, "Yeah this is cool, now you need to go and re-write the whole thing out in 3/4... if you want anybody to be able to read this without hours of rehearsing."
He was right. The melody plays and accents the syncopated '&' constantly. And in 6/8, those get notated out with 16th notes. It was a mess. It looked so visually confusing. It took a ridiculous number of hours to rewrite, as the score was about 50 pages. But now it's all 8th notes. So much easier to read. Still took a bit to work out the kinks, but surprisingly my guys nailed it with relatively little rehearsal. Those guys had some serious reading chops. It was awesome.

That's a really nice tune, Jeff. Is that unplugged?

This one's with its section of narrative (part of a larger piece).
The music behind the narrative alludes to another song in the work, whereas the song here is performed as an acoustic trio of trombone, double bass and rhythm guitar plus vocal:

From an open-mic back a couple of years. Forgive the poor recording quality, please.
