“One of the great things about a well-executed blues solo is the amount of emotional mileage that is extracted from a narrow range of notes, just through slight variations in timing and touch. To get so much from so little requires both great attention to detail and a strong sense of musical organization. Ironically, the desired result is a performance that the listener perceives as “natural.” – Keith Wyatt
( T Bone Walker...has a very unique way of phrasing sometimes repeat phrases other times he'd play a long phrase and would extend it pass barlines and stops at unusal places...probably not the best example of what Keith Wyatt is referring to here! But check out Clark Terry's awesome solo...just a few notes..and..just on a trumpet mouth piece no less! Is it me or does he makes the mouth piece laugh in the end?? Stick around for T Bone's swinging solos in the next song. - Ed)
