Gotta be one of the greatest jazz guitar solos of all time. Jimmy's long flawless single note lines on this song have amazed me for decades now. I don't think I've ever heard anyone else extract a melody from a song like that. And with Sam Jones laying it down thick, providing the perfect and impeccable undercurrents for Jimmy to float on. This is a true classic. The album title is "The Influence" and boy, has it been, on me and thousands of jazz guitarists for sure.
