All the cerebral stuff on here needs to be balanced out, so here’s a straight-ahead blues in F to enjoy while all the theory steeps in to your skull.
This was extensively recorded by Miles Davis, and I sure favor the uptempo although I can’t get it as fast as he played it with the second great quintet. There’s some recordings with Tony Williams (Miles in Berlin) where it’s just blistering fast. This is somewhere in the middle-fast range.
I go in blowing and don’t play the head till several choruses in. Just to change things up some.
