Amazing

[@commanderarc]

Woody Shaw!

[@DanielKJohanssonTrombone]

That wouldn't surprise me! Do you have a specific recording in mind?

[@spicebones]

Thanks for this video about that lick. I think I heard it from Woody Shaw first (almost in any solos !), but I theorized it in an other way, assuming that. It begins with a minor 7 arpeggio and up a fourth….

[@DanielKJohanssonTrombone]

Yeah, it might be easier to think about the pattern like that! 👍

[@DanKolan]

It's a pretty generic pattern, but if I were required to claim an origin I would reference Billy Strayhorn's "Raincheck". As you said, it's a very tuneful pattern, which is likely one of the reasons why Strayhorn/Ellington felt like it made such a great melody.
