For what it's worth, John Lewis does it sometimes where he plays the melody without that, but there will be a saxophone or something playing an approximation of that...
I’m almost in the same boat as you. I heard Yaffee playing hers at Shalin and now I need to try one. May even make a trip to Georgia if I have to. I’m in southern nh. If you end up finding one and...
