This week's solo comes from the great bebop saxophonist Charlie Rouse. He is by far one of my favorite sax players of the bebop era. He was a very intelligent player; he developed ideas organically and only used speed when needed. This version of Monk's rhythm changes contrafact "Rhythm-A-Ning" comes from the classic album Criss Cross. Every song in that album is now a great standard, it is a must have for any player.
