    Hey everyone! Two things:
    A. I'm surprised a lot of people don't understand that isn't an improvised solo, rather a written one with improvised aspects with rhythms and some note changes. This is an arrangement by Billy Strayhorn of Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin written for the Duke Ellington band.
    B. While this recording is good, I HIGHLY recommend listening to the original Duke Ellington recording, which has the legendary Cootie Williams playing this solo.
    Thanks for all the support!

      Was the solo actually written by Strayhorn, or are they just reading/going off a transcription of an arrangement by him? (something I know Jazz At Lincoln Center often does)
      For a lot of their scores, theyd transcribe the solo, even when it was originally not written out on the original manuscript
      (Not contradicting you, just curious)

      @@Snavels The solo is one of the melodies from the original Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin. While it is a direct transcription of the Ellington Band version arranged by Strayhorn, he did not come up with the melody.

      @@vinh_em The Jazz at the Lincoln Center Orchestra is not only one of the top jazz big bands in the world, but also one of the top educators for young jazz musicians, led by Wynton Marsalis. While the solo is notated, the soloist, Ryan Kisor, takes a lot of liberties, making it different from the original Ellington recording of this piece (which I personally prefer to this one, but the video serves as a fun aid). If you want to listen to the guy do an improv solo, I highly recommend checking out his solo on Take the A Train. There's a great transcription on CZcams, just search up Ryan Kisor Take the A Train solo.
