he is playing very cool bebop lines in a standard blues progression, lots of Charlie PArker, Charlie Christian, sax type lines. This is a lost art, most players cannot even undestand this type of playing. I love clapton, hendrix, etc, but the reality is that they are playing one scale throughout a blues. Charlie Baty (clip) is playing through the chord progression, anticpating the next chord, playing substitute chords, very hip playing. he does play some repititous cliches, but those are expected in a blue solo of this length. Listen to the first 24 bars, amazing. I know I sound like a pompous arse, but this the type of music most dont get. how many people really "hear" charlie parker, dizzy, Cliffird Brown? Who cares how many positions or frets he plays in (there are only 12 notes!) Its the music that matters.
