Donna Lee head and solo -- Nordy, TI jazz flats

[jj1234]

Going through some old videos in my library and just uploaded this to youtube. Perhaps it will provide a helpful sound sample or some lick ideas.

-- the first half of the head is a cool-school line of some kind, maybe from the saxophonist warne marsh?
-- the turnaround in the head uses a sort of tritone substitution implied by a half-step-up repetition of the Eb-Db-F-Ab-C-Bb-F-Ab bit
-- the start of the solo is an oliver nelson quote that I always had a bunch of trouble fingering easily
-- the end of the solo is a laurence cottle lick from the snakeranch sessions (?) cd

Nordy VJ4 with TI jazz flats, I think the strings are about 7-8 years old now
