Milt 32nd note shred-off

[Strat-itis]

Mancuso? Try 70 years earlier. :P

1 time thru round midnight including intro and coda. He honors the melody in the intro, 1st a, and coda with his sig Milt blues inflection. The shred-off begins on the 2nd a, and the improv continues thru the bridge and 3rd a. Mega-formidable playing, I love it.

Always been hands down my favorite vibes player.
I remember reading an interview w his bandmate John Lewis in the MJQ and he said "people tell me to listen to this one or that one and I do, but Jackson is beyond them all"

Yes, you can clearly hear the much older influence. The intro and coda are very respectful of the melody, then the solo takes off completely on the second chord. Great energy and a real blues feeling.
