Out of curiosity, what's the best solo YOU'VE ever heard in a recording?


I'd also have to go with the Jeff Baxter guitar solo in Donna Summer's Hot Stuff and Ritchie Blackmore's guitar solo in Highway Star/Deep Purple among a few others.

Well Bunny's "Can't get started' was my favorite until I heard Al Hirt do it - now that's m favorite.

Hank Jones piano solo on Autumn Leaves - (Cannonball Adderly feat. Miles Davis). You don't have to be a 'jazzer' to appreciate the beauty, simplicity, and tastefulness of this piece of musical magic. He was also a true gentleman and hugely respected among his peers. Sarah Vaughn's favorite accompanist.

Phil Wood's solo in Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are"...rides a nice line between pop and jazz.

DNJ,

I was lucky enough to be sitting right down in front of Al's club the night he did a tribute to Satchmo right after his passing and I can tell you everyone in the place had tears in their eyes. Never ever heard so much emotion in anyones playing before or since.
