The Frankie "Tram" Trumbauer Orchestra feat. Bix Beiderbecke - Singin' the Blues. The first minute of the song is a sax solo by Trumbauer. The second minute is Bix's cornet solo. The third minute features a short clarinet solo by Jimmy Dorsey, who was the clarinetist in Trumbauer's Orchestra at that time. The guitarist on this track is Eddie Lang. This song is considered a jazz classic because Bix and, to a lesser degree, Tram were able to make a slow-tempo jazz ballad swing. This ability to make slow-tempo swinging jazz would later be emulated by jazz musicians ranging from Lester Young to John Coltrane to Miles Davis.

Bix's solo on this piece is considered to be one the greatest jazzsolo's ever. It is a solo of intense, brooding beauty, carefully built up to a typical tumbling break in the middle, with a surprise explosion after it. Fletcher Henderson paid it the ultimate tribute by recording it twice in a version for his whole brass section. There was hardly a contemporary white musician of jazz pretensions who didn't learn it by heart. (according to Columbia records LP CL845)

I can easily hack my way through these changes, but instead I'm learning the original solos. It's a lot more trouble but very worth it from a creative perspective. Not just to play them back note for note, but to improvise in a meaningful way.

Listening to some of the musicians I'm learning about from a book called On Highway 61. Youtube makes it fun to read a book and then listen to the artists . I don't rmmeber how we did it in the past.

Now... something from the 1920's. One of the greatest ever jazz/blues instrumentalists of the 1920's. He was a cornet player and jazz pianist, composing most of his own music.This recording, I believe, comes from 1927.Hope there's something here for all you jazz fans out on G+.
