John, nice take! That snappy tone seems to inspire you to sit back in the beat a bit, and that's a feel I love.

What a beautiful tune. Has everything in it that makes jazz what it is. Call and response, motivic development, swing, great lines and what not. Still learning the melody. This is one of those that can make me happy just to play the head/melody.

The one thing I did more of is self-comping. When I first heard Lenny Breau, I flipped out over how great he was at doing it.
When playing without comping I like to get some of that going! Kurt Rosenwinkel is also a master at it, and well a bunch of other players really.
Like Jeff mentioned it's fun playing with a really solid bass player, it opens up the territory for trying stuff. I do that much more when I know the tune well enough, which isn't the case with Along Came Betty!

Here's mine. I tried to use the Aebersold backing, but the piano was horribly sharp, I got fed up tuning my guitar up to it! So I used BIAB instead and went for a samba feel (probably as a result of listening to Sheryl Bailey and Pat Martino!).

There was some rhythmic stuff followed by a super long line on your last A the first time through that absolutely floored me. That's how I wanna play when I grow up.

Thanks Jeff! Trying to figure out what I did there...I think it was some kind of ascending Dbm arp figure in 2 octaves (over the Bbmin7b5 chord) then some kind of bebop chromatic run down and diminished thing on the Eb7.
The arp thing probably came out of a Pat Martino linear expressions line, I learned a couple of those once.
I should probably learn some more of them!

So I was posting on Tune up... figured I should post Vid of Miss Betty.
Just did it... just recorded backing tract and played one time through... sorry, it's loose. But that's how it is in real world at gigs.
At gigs you would at least have interaction and we would listen and adjust as we want. yada yada
