i appreciate the suggestion jim...and i understand why it might seem like that...
that his fans extended beyond jazz......pero in my opinion limited to bassists..kasi nga nasa bass forum.
d ba dapat his fans should extend beyond bass(?)...i mean, i am not a bassist..i am a guitar player...and i love jazz too...that's why i appreciate his talent not only as a bassist but also as a writer...
but alas, not arguments here....just pointing out my opinion...

the chicken is such a good study in composition, soloing over changes through ii-v-i movement...modal approach pwede IMO......
and the break directly comes from a Bb blues scale....blues scale in a jazz standard? who would ever thought it would be that simple? but it is....complicated, technical and over the top bassist that he is, he showed how a simple idea can last generations...
