Such a deep harmonic dive, thank you! Could spend weeks trying to process and still barely scratch the surface. And that on top of KD's incredible articulation and phrasing, which I can't even begin to comprehend. Damn.
Excellent guidance through a brilliant solo. I'm a guitarist and I couldn't stop listening. I will be listening a few times to learn some of those ideas. Thanks!!!
There's a lot to learn from this masterful KD solo. Sadly he was very underappreciated while he was alive and even had to work in a music store to make ends meet. Ross Russell said some unkind things about Kenny in his (otherwise very good) Parker biography which possibly had a negative effect on his career.
I play the acoustic guitar and take heavy influence on horn players (Rollins, Henderson, baker, etc) for learning to improvise in a jazz setting. Would u think (at an amateur level) establishing the 3rd say of the chord and the 7th of the next chord and work on connecting the dots in various ways? Managing the chord changes while becoming proficient in creating lines?
Regarding the Cmin7 to Bdim7 transition near the end of the first chorus, could he just have substituted Bmin7 for Bdim7? The C#, B, and F# notes he plays fit Bmin7, but the C# wouldn’t fit a F half-whole diminished scale diatonically. Great video, by the way!
Going back to this again, as this part of the changes is giving me a lot of grief as I’m trying to learn the tune. I’m hearing some kind of F dominant flavor here-especially in Hank Mobley’s subsequent solo, where he plays a Bb harmonic minor run over this chord, strongly implying an F7b9 chord, resolving neatly to Bb minor chord. But I think you erred when you stated “F half-whole diminished has the same notes as B whole-half diminished.” Only half the notes would be the same in this case. But I think your larger point is correct.
I been having braces for about 4 months, so far I sound the same since I got braces,which is very bad. I have a lesson which he has been helping me alot,but I feel like I'm comprimising time. So I'm wondering if you got any tips. Thankyou (Btw, I'm a freshman)

Many thanks! Next challenge will be this transcription!

What a wealth of amazing knowledge 🎺🎺I still love experimenting with my Old Cornet even at 65 I can’t wait to try and copy the greats!.❤

Love your channel. Have you delved into any of his sideman stuff with Joe Henderson (maybe the album In and Out)?
