After posting three new episodes on what makes a great jazz solo (Episodes 269-271), I thought I'd go into the archives and also include the original ones I put together a few year ago. These were inspired by a Jazz Times article where a number of famous jazz musicians and writers were asked to talk about their favourite solos.

This episode features amazing solos by Bill Evans, Charlie Parker, Jaco Pastorius, Freddie Hubbard, Ella Fitzgerald, and Toronto's Robi Botos. Plus one solo that was described as being not so amazing.

I'm hoping that hearing these six episodes on The Jazz Solo--with explanations by experts as to 'why'--- gives some idea as to the criternia for defining a solo as great. Although I'm sure its a topic that can benefit from continuous exploration.

I'm hoping to start downloading new programs starting Tuesday!
