Thanks for your comment. It is incredible. Well, Eddie was known for his humor. Interesting perspective indeed. I appreciate all the great viewpoints on the solos from you and everybody. Please remember to subscribe to the channel and support my efforts. Check out Tampion!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽😉😉
You are most welcome🙏🏽. Thank you so much for your comments. He is definitely all over the horn indeed. In my opinion, this solo has to be the Rosetta Stone for his style. Please take a look at the latest solo over “Tampion” a contra-fact on Stella. Please subscribe to the channel and spread the word🙏🏽🙏🏽😉😉.
Hello! It’s unfortunate indeed that you are having a challenge to find the track.

Wow, I had no idea. Now I need to go back again and listen to that Scofield album ("Hand Jive", E Harris is on it), plus the Eddie Harris album from 66 ("The In Sound") I bought to hear his version of "Freedom Jazz Dance" because I like the version by Adams/Pullen ("Sophisticated Alice"), which rips it off brazenly, so much.
Thanks for your comments! Check it out! The content here informs us about all the other solos. Also, check out a later version of Freedom Jazz Dance too😉. Keep on keepin’ on and stay inspired!!

I have to say I’m in awe but I know ,but I forgot and I should of remembered but we all forget about him but we should -ended but we take him for granted because of his commercial side but DAMN , that shit was big chops and study systems to the tee ……… Lord!

A rhythm solo for the AGES. Unbelievable virtuosity and swing. Not one note flubbed. This cat has been overlooked because of his commercial successes (well deserved).
Thank you so much for your comment. From what I have transcribed and researched, it is definitely among the most incredible indeed. Please remember to support the channel by subscribing so that I might bring to light more incredible solos like this one🙏🏽. Stay tuned for more solos coming soon!!

Thanks so much for your commentary. SOUL🙏🏽 This is the REAL deal and I hope that many will realize finally how much Eddie has left for us to uncover. Please remember to subscribe and keep on keepin’ on🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is what I mean when I say SOUL. HE IS NOT JUST PLAYING A LOT OF NOTES LIKE MOST DO TODAY AND THINK THEY ARE PLAYING BLACK JAZZ. YOU GOT TO HAVE SOUL.
Amazing! Very good work! I got to sit next to him on a flight from Denver to LA in I think 1990 on my way home from some lame ass rock gig in Aspen. We talked about chicks and all kinds of stuff. Very nice guy. I worked out of his book called "Skips" for awhile (or was it "Steps"). I think that's what it was called. It had a yellow cover. The first page was called "Eddieisms". It was a list of 10 or so rules to go by one of which was that if you're not working , don't drink alcohol waiting for the next gig to come in. He said to drink milk. Very cool guy.
Thank you for sharing the amazing story with all of us here. I appreciate it very much. Btw: Did you listen to his comic relief record “The reason why I’m talking s**t?” (Atlantic). It’s a great display of that humor you so talked about. Skips is great!! And the etude that features all of the famous quotes is a must “shed” item for all. Please remember to subscribe and keep on keepin’ on🙏🏽🙏🏽 Stick around for more amazing solos to come!!
@@grammarp3263 Somehow I mistakenly quoted the wrong book(!!). The etude I was referring to is the subject of a completely entire book. The book’s name is Jazz Cliche’ Capers by Eddie Harris on Highland Music Company. The cover is blue with a picture of Eddie on the front. This book is highly recommended!!
Thank you so much for your direct question. The answer is YES. I will search for some special Eddie Solos and will upload them in due process. Meanwhile, please subscribe, support the channel, spread the word… In this way, I will be able to provide more high quality content for all of you to enjoy. Keep on keepin’ on🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Because of the various copyright concerns involved with adding audio, the book will only include 29 Play-Along tracks. In this light, you will have to refer regularly to these RU-vid samples to play along with. However, I’m now in the process of recording some instructional videos where I play some of the examples and show how to use them over the Play-Alongs. Thanks for your questions and for being so active🙏🏽🙏🏽. Please continue to do so😉. Best wishes🙏🏽🙏🏽🎸🎸

Great comment😉 Hilarious titles and even two Comic relief records on Atlantic too. Thanks for the comment and your support! Please remember to subscribe and look out for more amazing solos to come.🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for your comments and support for the channel. I’m currently in the process of organizing a page on my website for the purchase of all the transcriptions featured on this website. If you would like to purchase a copy, please send an email to neff@neffirizarry.com Keep on keepin on and stay tuned for more amazing solos to come!
Now this looks like a great solo! Useful vocabulary which is immediately accessible, a variety of approaches logically arranged, and it's all paired with a common groove which the student player would encounter at any jam session. I really look forward to this book and the transcriptions. My only complaint: i wish these book II solo transcriptions weren't all up in the ledger line space--too hard to read. A simple 8va volta would do.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration in writing such a detailed commentary. I’m glad you enjoyed Edgardo Miranda’s solo. As a response to your complaint: In my professional capacity, I have encountered that many guitarists can use the practice of reading above the ledger lines as do instruments with the extended range. The “8va Volta” or down the octave notation is helpful to address the different learning levels and styles.

Thank you so much for posting this. That’s the most unique take on Giant Steps I’ve ever heard apart from the original! I’ve realized for years that I (and everyone!) need to listen to more Eddie..Eddie Harris :^)
Thank you so much for your words. I’m glad to hear that this solo struck a special chord with you. Eddie’s musical approach still holds many secrets that have yet to be uncovered in a public forum. In my opinion, his influence is undeniably present in many players… Please subscribe and thank you for the support!

I’m eternally grateful to them for giving their blessings to my pursuits….
Absolutely!! And, when you think about how he sets up the line with the Lydian sound and then contrasts it with that crazy sweep…. It’s amazing….. George shows us his genius here in so many ways. His instinct and taste transcends every style he plays in. Thanks for your comment and support! Be inspired and keep on keepin’ on!🙏🏽🙏🏽
