On the XB its now possible to really have fun with some of those Charlie Parker blues
heads that were a struggle before, like K.C. Blues (what a pretty tune!), Cheryl, Cool
Blues, Big Foot, Parker's Mood, Now's the Time, etc.
Some of these heads were possible on the standard diatonic, but had awkward blow draw
patterns and might have been limited to a single register unless you used overblows.
But with the enharmonic choices of the XB now you can phrase them much more smoothly
and play them in the middle register if you want.
