Great non-guitar solos?

 

Where do you not start?

 

Like docc says, it's time for a jazz thread.

 

John Coltrane has already been mentioned

Louis Armstrong - who introduced the idea of improvised soloing

Charlie Parker - who, with Dizzy Gillespie, helped us understand how to use all twelve notes of the scale

Art Tatum, Bill Evans, Thelonius Monk, Wynton Kelly....

Lester Young, Stan Getz, Wayne Shorter, Jan Garbarek, Coleman Hawkins, Dexter Gordon....

Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis, Clifford Young, Chet Baker.....

Ron Carter, Ray Brown.....

 

All their stuff still sounds great. It's good for guitarists to listen to horn players.

 

And today, you have people like Bela Fleck.

As a fellow horn enthusiast I can't believe you forgot to mention the wonderful Paul Desmond

 

Most jazz horn players played far too many notes

 

Paul knew just the right number of notes to play....
