Charlie's solo is full of modern devices here. Note especially: 1. the long held neighbor note (Db) in Bar @ 5, which finally resolves to the Ch in the next bar; 2. Barp 1. Here Charlie is thinking of G7 as a chord in C,major, even though the traditional method would be C minor as being more closely related to Ab major (the key of the piece) 3. Bar D +. Notice the dissonant passing tone (Bh) on the strong beat of the bar. 4. Bar D s. Same ur #g. This time Eh. 5. Bar D O. Added l3th to an F7 (Dl) 6. Bar D z. Added 9th to Bb7 (Ch) 7. Bar IDI Z. Anticipated chord tone (Eb) 8. Bar D f O. - D f 1. Extended passage using blue notes 9. Bar D f O. Ending solo on unresolved 7th By BENI\ry GOODMAN CHARLIE CHRISTIAN Intro @ass SoIo)
