Guided Listening: "So What" & Miles Davis

[@frankzona5459]

Great listening session Jeff. I too have heard this tunes hundreds of times. What impresses me is the depth that these guys present with such a stripped down melody and harmony. Very 3-D playing to me. I once played this tune on a date and at the break the venue manager came to me and wanted to know why I played a song with only 2 notes. Maybe he thought he wasn't getting his monies' worth. I wanted to tell him to take it up with Miles. LOL

Oh, that is FUNNY! "His money's worth." That's a good one!!

Thanks Jeff. I recently recorded a solo for a Dave Pollack project on a tune with the same chords as "So What". The solos on this recording are all so different. I have to admit, that on some of your guided listening posts I wish you would talk less so I can listen to the tune, but this is one I have heard so often I can appreciate your comments more.

Thanks for the post Rob, and glad to have you with us.

All the tunes on the album are first time through the full tune. There were some restarts. Only one of the tunes was recorded all the way through twice. Still the first take was used.
