Its great to see Battista being so respectfull to this fresh young guy playing his ass off. Ofcourse Mr Di Battista is one of the sources and an amazing alto player
listen to his various versions of this song plus he recorded many of his his multiple hits several times also listen to some of his live versions u hear many variations, other artist did the same thing , listen to oliver nelsons stolen moments re recorded it 3 times oliver was a impresive tenor alto sap. sax player not to mention his many other composations people never think of in his book Patterns and improv. u year many players play those paterns .. not to linger on the same point herbin technique and soul interpation etc. make s u want to destoy your horn ive alwaaays listhened to his solo in class work ..they are masterworks stefano is his equal u can tell that he listen to the saint john coltrane.. i love his homage to elvin jones ,,,he has a nummber of tunes that fall along those trane school of thought
