I especially love hearing this kind of playing coming from a young player. Jason’s lines and ideas are great and a classic mix of bebop and blues. Nothing in this solo is super complex or mind boggling but the beauty of this solo is it’s melodic content, simplicity and swing. Like I have written in other posts here on my blog, I love hearing new young burnin’ players I have never heard of for the first time. I’m sure he must be older than that but I would be surprised if he could get into bar without being asked for his ID. ![]() Jason looks to me like he is about 16 years old. I went downstairs grabbed a coffee and escaped to my office where I spent the next 3 hours transcribing this gem of a solo. I did have plans this morning but those all dropped by the wayside after hearing this swinging solo by alto saxophonist Jason Fabus. ![]() My wife was still sleeping so I put my headphones in and pushed play………. ![]() I scrolled down through a couple posts about Trump and some cute pet videos and then saw this gem. ![]() Lastly, I decided to check Facebook to see if there was anything interesting. Still sleepy, I checked my email, some comments on my site, the news to see if the world blew up yet and the weather for today. I woke up at around 7:45 this morning, rolled over in bed and grabbed my phone off the side table to check what I might have missed during my 7 hours of sleep. Here is another Facebook solo transcription for you.
