I've never played bebop although I have my own sort of version of that sound. Nor am I a fast player. I have been but these days not really.
So what I normally do, out of necessity, is slow it down and it tends to come out more like a ballad. And this has been noticed by quite a few people!
After trying that first I then might try a latin version for want of an alternative.
I did look at this tune and thought there was no way I'm going to be able to play it as it should be played. We really need players like grahambop and Dutchbopper to do it justice.
So what'll probably happen, if I do it at all, is it'll come out as a much slower swing version. Hopefully a bit quicker than 62 bpm :-)
The problem with that, of course, is it'll have almost nothing to do with the original tune.

we or you?
Dutchbopper-forget about him because he quit participating in the JG Forum.Big loss.
In any case, I think the real issue here is to have fun, not conform to some standard. Let's enjoy what we do!

No strings were bent in the making of this track.

Couldn't sit this one out...had never played this before, so here's a "first take worst take" as they say.

Never should, nice take, stretching out and not repeating yourself-- hard to do. Great tone too.
Rag, sounds pleasant, just not sure I'm hearing Seven Steps to Heaven. I'd be interested in hearing you take it on faster and approaching it the way Jim Hall might have...one certainly doesn't have to burn 8th notes to play these tunes (but it sure is fun)

Maybe 63 bpm this time

Putting my take into the mix. All my picks are songs that I really love. This is the song that really turned me onto jazz and opens the door to a new world.
