Thanks for this video about that lick. I think I heard it from Woody Shaw first (almost in any solos !), but I theorized it in an other way, assuming that. It begins with a minor 7 arpeggio and up a fourth….
It's a pretty generic pattern, but if I were required to claim an origin I would reference Billy Strayhorn's "Raincheck". As you said, it's a very tuneful pattern, which is likely one of the reasons why Strayhorn/Ellington felt like it made such a great melody. ua-cam.com/video/9RDm6anLGrY/v-deo.html
Nice to hear it broken down like this…lovely analysis! Thanks man
Glad you liked the breakdown! Beautifully played as always. 🎺
Ahhh the NPR lick.
I've been devouring your videos lately, really appreciate it. Helping a classical bone player get his improv chops going

That wouldn't surprise me! Do you have a specific recording in mind?
Amazing

Yeah, it might be easier to think about the pattern like that! 👍
