Sonny did some cool stuff on their version of this tune!

Tremendous capturing. Thank you so much, John.
Have to admit I never listened to much of Sonny's work, but if these bits are representative of his style, then I really missed a lot. Each of the three solos includes sounds I would have loved to have made back when I was first learning in the '70s.
Except for a bit of single-string work in one solo, everything here is accomplished with rolls, showing how imaginative Sonny was in finding ways to make interesting and advanced music with relatively easy right-hand patterns. Those ascending and descending passages in the middle solo are amazing.
A wonderful lesson.
