Similar the my last post about solos that you could steal vocab.
(I'll quote myself from that post where I say what I feel 'vocab' is...
I see a 'vocab' solo as one where the soloist plays phrases which would be considered idiomatic to the specific style that they are playing.
They are playing something that 'feels and sounds like X' whether that be Jazz; Country; Blues; Metal etc. Phrases that you could show and teach a Student and be able to confidently say "This is a Jazzy phrase / This is a common thing played in Metal solos / You'll find this type of thing gets played a lot in this style"
I'm hoping we can create a thread where people post albums (Jazz or Blues or Jazz-Blues ... or anything really) that they listened to a lot and have taken or adapted much of the 'jazz language' from the tunes on said album!
Personally, I've really taken a lot from Soul Station by Hank Mobley - particularly Dig Dis - lots of great Blues and Jazz lines that I really enjoy playing over.
I hope this is ok & that we can have fun sharing music we love!

If you’re starting this thing with Soul Station, I don’t know what you expect anyone to do for you here.
It doesn’t get hipper than Soul Station.
I’m a “Remember” guy myself, but to each their own. As long as their own is a track off Soul Station.

Any solo by Charlie Christian. He was the foundation of all electric guitar, whether jazz, rock, blues, whatever. Around 1940 every guitar player alive tried to sound like him, and that continued after his death.
