Whap! = Swingin' at Sugar Ray's


Recommended Posts

Face to Face has long been my personal favourite soul jazz album with Swingin' at Sugar Ray's being my favourite song on the album. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Whap! from The Honeydripper is basically the same song. As I was listening to the head it struck me as quite similar, but boy was I unprepared for Grant's solo. He almost note for note replayed his solo from S.A.S.R. But hey I don't blame him, it's a legendary solo imo and the McDuff session was just 4 days after the Willette session so I'll give him a pass.

I'm interested to hear about other examples of duplicated solos, I'm sure this is not an isolated incident.
