Archives, Episode 52, The Jazz Solo Part 1

You just finished listening to Part 4, 5, and 6 of The Jazz Solo. Now as I take a bit of a break, let's go back five years and hear Parts 1, 2, and 3.

In part 1 you'll learn why we don't all say 'so what' to Miles Davis's most highly renowned jazz solo. Or to the other great solos in that piece of work as well.

Then there's Louis Armstrong's and Johnny Dodd's solos in Potato Head Blues.

I also play rave about solos by Paul Bley, Oliver Nelson, John Coltrane, and Israel Crosby.
