Chas Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I recognize the line that Frank Foster is playing during this excerpt from his solo on Eddie Higgins' Foot's Bag , but I can't place it . Where have I heard this before ? http://www.divshare.com/download/10530228-ba9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Weiss Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Au contraire! That's Strayhorn's "Johnny Come Lately." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Dammit, you're right... That's it, it's official - I no longer have skills, at least not reliable ones.Time to get all the way out, if only to regroup to get back in. Or not.

Larry Kart Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Assuming that Jim has not lost it entirely (which seems unlikely), is there a passing point of resemblance between the two tunes? I think there is. Bohemia After Dark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0mDBT4kRNc Johnny: "Bo-DOO ... bo-DEE-dah-dah. Bohemia (roughly): Bo-doo-DOO-doo-dah-dah-DEE-dah. Pardon my musical illiteracy, but it's the "DEE-dah" interval and the way it's accented, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
