Re: Subject: [Harp-L] video- CHEROKEE by Yvonnick Prene

At some point Yvonnick must have been exposed to Lester Young, Ben Webster
and Johnny Hodges but you wouldn't know it from this solo.

If I want to here scales played rapidly with good tone and time then I can
write code to do that. To many young players are, perhaps due to their
training, preoccupied with quantity rather than quality.
