[TPIN] Good or bad,..here it is

[William Benzon]

Jon, 

I really enjoyed your solos, different each time out, tasty on all three.

My only suggestion is on rhythm. The verse has a Latin feel while the bridge
is swing. I'd try to differentiate those more clearly. It's particularly
important to mark the difference when you go into the bridge.

Listen to any number of good players blowing on "A Night in Tunisia,"
including, of course, John Birks Gillespie himself, and check out Lee Morgan
on "The Gigolo."

Keep swinging,

BB
