Jim Hall is famous for his very melodic and musical solos. In this video I am going over some examples from his solo on Poor Butterfly and talk about how in many ways I think this is the perfect medium swing solo. These examples show you how he keeps changing his lines with ideas involving rhythm, harmony and note choice. I especially like how he re-interprets some cliché lines and makes them much more interesting and surprising.
