Thanks Jay, I love this thread, it is my favorite but I am so busy right now I don'f get to work on many of the tunes. The noise at 3:46 was a sneeze and I didn't have time to do another take.

Hi everybody.
Wow, I never paid much attention to this tune but now that I do I recognize how hip and challenging it is...
I hope I´ll get around to posting something and I will surely take the time to listen to some of your versions.
Cheers,
H.

Nice job on the head and comping for the sax. I think you could try being a little bit more sparse during the bass solo.
Trading fours, nice job with that, your second go at it was hot, 4th one too.

Thanks fep, waiting to hear your take on it :-)

Great choice, and thanks to fep for the chart and backing tracks! This is one of the tunes I've never gotten quite right. I welcome the chance to focus on it, hear what others are doing with it, and finally get this sucker down.

Excuse me. I bring my homework.

I like your sound and the chromatic movements in your improvisation, AUGUSJAZZ! Nice take! Also, seems like you are using Charlie Parker lick very successfully)) The only one thing is, as for me, it's not necessary to try to play a tone of notes so fast, as you did just few times, your voicing is pretty nice without that))

Some of your quicker playing got you a little lost in the rhythm here and there, but hey, we all do that from time to time!

I have heard some excellent versions of all of you.
Thank you very much for the comments on my recording, I'll see you do another take correcting errors.
There really is here a great deal of guitarists.

really nice take Augusjazz. some cool lines, my only comment is that some of the fast runs were not that clean.

Thank you very much for your comment.

MeneerJelle, your jam is excellent, your phrasing is great!
I loved it.
Congratulations!

Here's my first rough crack at it, after working on the head and letting a few ideas form:
Straight No Chaser (Cleaned Up)
I've been working with the 120bpm version so far, I might have to try speed it up a bit, see if I can play to the 160pm version. Hopefully I can get some nice new ideas and fine tune everything. I surprised myself a bit with this one, initially I wasn't too fond of it, but it sort of grew on me and now I like it.
Feedback and suggestions appreciated - thanks for listening!Last edited by JazzReggie; 01-09-2012 at 09:50 AM. Reason: Updated version - cleaned up tone

Good job.
As a tip (although I'm not qualified to do so) is that you need to improve the vocabulary of jazz and a lick and melodically rhythmic work.
Anyway, very well and hopes that someone more experienced comment.
Greetings!

I like your take 2.
