Stan Getz solo from Boss and Ballads. The Lost sessions

Things to notice in this solo are the relaxed swing feel, the mellow tone, the alteration of the chord
in bar of 1 2 from a minor 7th to a major 7th.

Things to notice in this are the groups of semiquavers often grouped in 4s, the freedom in his harmonic language
which is due to the lack of piano in the band and the rhythmic variety
