Episode 270: Great Solos Part 5
Manage episode 422086997 series 2150622
This week I start with a solo by Charlie Parker---talking about what has been termed "the famous alto break".
Then I move onto John Coltrane--and playing that sounds like its either "all composed or all improvised".
The episode ends with Jaco Pastorius and his bass and percussion recording of Donna Lee, followed by a Sonny Stitt and Sonny Rollins 'cutting contest' with Dizzy Gillespie also getting into the fray.
Then there's Chick Corea with a solo described as "a perfect example of motivic development and story telling".
Other well-known solos include Cannonball Adderley playing I Can't Get Started.
There are also a couple lesser known solos. From 1997 there is guitarist David Occhipinti along with David Restivo and Jim Vivian. And one of my favourites---Victoria's Kelby McNayr with a soft, subtle, but creative drums solo that sounds too understated to be a solo. But it is!
