Can you play this? With a metronome, make it swing and play the rhythyms? Go as slow as you want to!!!! But once you get it down, work on the speed. Also, IMHO, don't use it as a reading exercise. Memorize it. Can you play it in another key? 

I'll give a free lesson to anyone who can play it (memorized) in another key. And you'll have to play it at the lesson as well! :-)

I'm just talking about the tune, I'm getting Sentimental Over You. Talking about how I would practice it and how I would approach it. 

I played two solos with hi hat. One fast and one slow, they will follow with the transcription! Check back!

Short etude, but should be a little bit of a challenge. 

This is a great blues from a great album, Jimmy Smith - The Organ Grinder

I just bought a Modern Jazz Quartet album at a flea market with Milt Jackson's autograph! This adds to my collection of autographs, including: Lionel Hampton, Gary Burton, Tony Miceli, Behn Gillece, and Oliver Mayman.
