POST # 240 Johnny Smith on Soloing

I don’t consciously think about chords when I solo. A lot of people are into
modes, but I’m not. I recently heard a famous big band that had some outstanding young brass and woodwind players. But when it came time to solo,
they all played modes and sounded alike. They had a veteran tenor sax guy who played from the old school. When he soloed, it was like a breath of fresh air. You knew he was creating in his head instead of being locked into modes. - Johnny Smith

( You are what you practice ! Some old school swing , Count Basie, Freddie Green etc...laid back n swinging ! - Ed )
