Not that it matters to you, but the word "apparently" was used by the person who posted the article, not by anyone involved in the sale in 1978. Do I know for certain that this is not legit? No, but...

I posted it because it's an exceptional bass tune. Has both Ron Carter and Mads Vinding. Your bass playing is sounding good. Maybe tighten up the time feel, intonation, and tone a bit.

Which tune is that?

It's been a very long time since I played in a big band but I remember having to dissect some of the charts to understand why the arranger had written those particular chords. It was often not clear...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

Love this. I worked at a jazz club near the end of his life, where he'd play maybe twice a year. One day this guy (who was a regular and was just the worst) came up and insisted Pat had put him on...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

In general I think this gets a bad rap. Grant Green will use the same lick over the same place in a tune on four choruses in a row. I'm quite left-brain, as I think we've established, but the...

Also I am particularly interested in hearing about nevershouldavesoldit's approach because he is a very good player.

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

Well if I meet a stranger on the street, the pollen count and "geez this allergy season is brutal" are generally acceptable topics for small talk. The alternative, not so much. So yes. Generally I...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

That's true. He hasn't stated his premise, he's alluded to it. A prerequisite to effective debate are all parties need to state their premise first, then back it up. Not argue without a premise.
