[QUOTE="MikeMorrell, post: 575207, member: 4674"] Sounds great [USER=9742]@cappers[/USER]! Our Big Big Band MD regularly 'reminds' soloists (including me): - to keep solo's simple and play in phrases (with gaps between them :)); ideally in synch with the backing - to use rhythm and repeated patterns - to avoid using too many 'embellishments' and 'variations' on written-out solos that are 'just for the sake of it' Your solo ticks all these boxes:).
