I listened to Tony's post and thought this was a fun idea. I thought the dominant #11 in the Take The A Train thing was a dead give away though! So I thought it may be really fun to try an obscure standard with less obvious chord motion. As personal punishment for doing this, I've decided to do this in Db in order to make it harder on myself, oh why god!
Here's some additional ideas on line exercises.

Yo guys,
Another great year with you all. I've learned and grown a lot from hanging out with all of you. I think we have an incredible 'think tank' here and I'm hoping and assuming that it's really helping the instrument as well as us as players. I know it does a ton for me!
I wonder if you guys have any vibe related resolutions for the new year?
Happy New Year to everyone!
I'm working this days in a solo (duo-trio) vibes. This is an attempt with bass play along in the blues Au Privave
