Episode 269: Great Jazz Solos, Part 4

Discovering Jazz

Part 4, you ask? But where are Parts 1, 2, and 3?

Answer: Way back five years to Episodes 52 to 54. The goal? To get a greater sense of the difference between a jazz solo that is considered 'great' versus solos that are just 'good'...and sometimes not even that. I reach out to 'experts to get some opinions. And I play some of tha tmusic with those recommended solos.

You'll hear raved about solos by Paul Gonsalves, Frank Rosolino, Mike Murley, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Kevin Turcotte, and of course, Louis Armstrong.

There are other solow too---and some of them you might like even better than those ones the experts are talking about.
