Another great one from you, Wesley. Look, I think Eric Alexander is a great player but his choruses were unrecognizable as the blues, imo. At least give us a chord tone or a turnaround now and then Eric ;) Vincent, on the other hand, gave a masterclass on the blues. Again...to my ears.
Thanks for checking it out and sharing your opinion! Eric is just throwing in more substitutions in there but the blues form is still very clear to my ears. I can see where you’re coming from though on some choruses like where he throws in his 12-tone row pattern. I definitely agree about Vincent though - when does he not give a masterclass when he plays?!
Instead of G7 for the first 4 bars, he is using a tritone sub to get to the C7 in bar 5 -> G#m7 C#7 C7. Also going down the diminished scale (could be thought of as C#7b9 or G7b9) in bars 3 and 4 of the form.
Hi Wesley, your page rocks! Thanks for posting this one. My student is currently working on it. Any chance you would be willing to share or sell the PDF of this so he could print it out?

This is awesome! Trying to figure out what Vincent is doing at 5:58…
