Sonny Rollins on the Stones’ Waiting on a friend.
Vinnie Zummo on Joe Jackson’s You can’t get what you want.
Kenny Kirkland on the live version of Bring on the night (Sting)
Branford Marsalis on the live Children’s crusade (sounds like Coltrane’s My favorite things.
Chet Baker on Elvis Costello’s Shipbuilding
Kenny Wheeler on the early David Sylvian albums….

When these songs come on the radio the solos are often cut short…

And I get that. Growing up on a steady diet of rock, pop, some soul… Hearing Coltrane or Jarrett was like hearing a sax or piano being thrown off the stairs.

There’s that thin line between underestimating or overestimating your audience.

Thing is, you can’t “educate” your audience with one song. If the bass player thinks it’s over the top, turn it down a little. They know stuff other musicians don’t understand. And the other way around, smile

Still think Bobby’s playing is great jazz, yeah, I use it loosely. Apart from some easy noodling, there is great harmony in most of his solo. And a real command of his instrument. Advanced jazz, so maybe not in the right spot, here in this song. Too bad, great player, though.

Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums.
