Thanks christian and mr. b for your comments! Christian, I find myself appreciating your prescence here a lot recently, what with the tea for two recording and now these time exercises! (christian put up a killer take of tea for two, you can find it in the songs section)

And conversely, I need to work on playing the head nicely at a slower tempo - which, try as I might, I wasn't able to do for some reason.
Here's my version of the famous Parker parable - I went to a jam a year ago, asked for There Will Never Be Another You and they said ok. Now I was comfortable playing it at a medium tempo. But these guys just went in like Clifford Brown was on the bandstand! And there I was, a sitting duck caught in the crossfire. To this day, it was one of the most embarrassing things that I have experienced. Nobody threw a cymbal at me(I could swear the drummer was considering it!), but everybody on the stand and sitting at the bar knew I had messed it up bigtime. So one of the things I resolved to do was work on my technique and facility at all tempos.

There it is! Sounding good. I like how you do the melidy, and how you go after some motifs/development in the solo.

There is a fast and optimistic version:

SO much serious stuff happening here, wow, that is the song I love really.
Before making my own version I did my tribute to the Great Figures of Jazz. Some flaws in playing as well as in the score. Anyway I can share pdf with everyone interested. C&C welcome.
PS: This one chorus taught me a lot about triplet subdivisions if you know what I mean

Ha! I'm posting one mid-month for a change (rather than being late)!

I think Gramps beat me to the chordal interpretation of the head.

As Usual, M-Ster, your version reflects your love of jazz guitar and is always very tasty and a treat for my old ears.
