One of my favourites too.
Because of this thread, I’ve been re-visiting his music recently. Loving it.
The vibe is so relaxed, and his use of space is fantastic. Everyone else is cramming as many notes in as possible, and he plays as little as he can.
Check out this version of “Stompin at the Savoy” It an old old tune, which most here will have heard.
It has a kind of main idea which is kind of like question and answer.
On relistening I’ve only just realised how much he uses space.
The question goes ... TAAAAA... DA.
The answer goes ... DE DA- DDY DAH , DA - DAH ( i hope you know what i mean.)
Listen to how he plays it. Melody starts approx .50 secs in
Sometimes he plays the question.
Sometimes he plays part of the answer
Sometime he plays nothing
Great stuff.
