Well, it sounded very similar to a live version that I heard Howard play in Savannah. Also, Carlos del Junco is a big fan of Howard and has a lot of his "bootleg live recordings". Carlos did a version that is very similar.


So, while it may not have been "note for note", it was based on a Howard solo, unless Howard heard this guy first and then copied him...

Is it true that the guy who won the jazz contest, did it by playing the same 
exact solo as Howard Levy in a recording?
