This was a kinda sleepy big band tune until Charlie Parker got hold of it.

Absolutely amazing. You sure know how to show the range of music on the banjo. I always enjoy your playing so keep 'em coming.

Thats one of my favorite tunes to play on guitar, I never gave it more than a thought on banjo. hehe... I love the way you traversed the B section, man thats so nice... Thank you again Laurence, you are a constant inspiration and I get allot of encouragement from your recordings! (Nice rythm too hehe... ) I've always played that in Bb, I immagine that would not be best suited for banjo, what key are you in??

Excellent playing as usual, Laurence. You are certainly among the finest musicians here on the Hangout. I wish I could get into the jazz groove like that. Simply outstanding. Thanks for contributing. JW

I'm going to have to figure out how to give your recordings more than five stars . . .
Inspirational, as always, Laurence. How do you conceive this stuff, let alone play it?

This is a wonderful version of this piece. I love the transition in the middle. Nice job.

Laurence - that ain't the way Earl played it :). Seriously, that's great stuff. You obviously follow the advice I got 45 years ago - "Just have fun with it." If you don't mind a possible summons by the Bluegrass Police, you might want to try "California Girls". Yes - THAT one. I think you'd get a kick out it.
Thanks for brightening my day!

Very nice bebop first section, and the Scruggs style rendition of the melody was very nice too! I would have liked to hear the rest of the tune in the bebop style, but I guess it is OK if somebody's playing leaves you wanting to hear more

That was awesome. This is exactly how I want to play someday, using the banjo as a force for good in jazz. :)

I enjoyed your solo; it's nice to hear some of Joe Pass' lines. What other jazz players do you listen to whose style works well on the banjo?

Stephen - it's just a grab bag - horn players, piano players. This is my favorite JP solo but really, nobody is safe!
