Flawless! That's such a good solo to re-crate! Love Taxi War Dance. Classic Basie era Pres!

[@chrisgreenejazz]

Very cool 🤗☘️

[@jazzygiraffe8589]

I've never heard anyone come as close to Pres sound wise as you

[@kevinsun]

Thanks, trying to pay tribute to Pres.

[@mpcguy]

Prezalicious!
What reed, mouthpiece, and period of conn?

[@kevinsun]

thanks! this was a long time ago, but i believe it was a 50xxx NW I, with an Otto Link Four Star and a very hard reed (probably a Vandoren Traditional 5 or a V12 #4, something like that).

[@mpcguy]

thats about what i would have guessed. the sound and solo are NAILED as i'm sure you know. i love all these early trancriptions from you!

[@kevinsun]

thank you!@@mpcguy

YOUR NECK MUST BE IN SO MUCH PAIN... WHY U GOTTA PLAY LIKE THAT BRO STRAIGHTEN UP YOUR NECK

[@slmjkdbtl]

is tilting the head like him essential for the tone?

[@kevinsun]

I don't think so, but I was curious to try.

[@jameshammond3853]

Possibly 😂

[@mpcguy]
