Frogman, I've been ruminating on that b.s. solo concept you exponded on. Having never heard it before I'm been trying to come up with the best improvising artist I know of with my limited knowledge of jazz .
I keep coming back to Sonny Stitt who, to my ears, makes these endless runs away from the center of the melody while nevertheless enhanceing same and doing wonders to harmonics at the same time.
Another one is Ron Carter who can keep a steady baroque like beat while at the same time being very melodic , how this can be on one instrument is beyond me.
If I am full of b.s, fell free to say so, I really want to understand a bit more.
