You closed the poll before I could vote.

You closed the poll before I could vote.

Poll closes automatically, cat. And you did comment four days ago.

Whats your vote?

[AllanAllen]

I can change my vote to Dexterity. Now that I've sat on it it a week, there's no point learning the most obscure Parker heads first.

I guess I won't vote now since it's close and they all sound cool to me and I might not do it.

[pamosmusic]

I hereby decree:

Dexterity is the winner

It appears there is a tie.

I must fess up, that 4th vote for Chasing the Bird was my doing.

Wanted to see if I can catch him, but Dexterity is fine with me.

[AllanAllen]

Time to put up or shut up.

Christian has a video on the A section of Dexterity.

Bring it on over here Allan:

Dexterity

[Mick-7]

How about taking on a post-bebop Bird-like tune? I'm thinking of Miss Ann by Eric Dolphy.

[AllanAllen]

I'm ready for the next vote as well. But, I nominate Groovin High

[pamosmusic]

Alright I’m going to keep this bumped to the top for a day or two to get nominations. Invariably I do a poll and everyone is like WHAT ABOUT THIS TUNE

I already did that one. Surprisingly simple.

[Mick-7]

I just thought it would be nice to take a break from be-bop royalty, i.e., Bird, Dizzy & Monk.

I didn’t say it was a bad idea.

Flinstones?

[Mick-7]

Maybe Bouncing with Bud?

[pamosmusic]

Oh nice one Mick

[pamosmusic]

Alright I’ll make a poll tonight …

Bouncin w Bud
Groovin High
Flintstones
Miss Ann

an eclectic bunch.

Let me know in the next couple hours if there are any others

[Mick-7]

The Flintstones theme is too easy, if we want to work on our arpeggios, we could do Joy Spring.

This was amusing: When I went on YouTube looking for renditions of "Bouncin' with Bud," I was seeing recordings by country and western musicians.... what, Buck Owens recorded a Bud Powell tune?!!

Then I realized I had entered "Bud's Bounce" in the search engine box, seems there's a C&W instrumental by that name.

[GuyBoden]

"Bouncin' with Bud," Fats Navarro on trumpet, my fav 1940's era Bebop trumpet player.

Here's Dolphy playing Miss Ann:

My vote will be for Miss Ann. I love Dolphy, but I've only ever learned Miles Mode/Red Planet.
