Just Friends

Just the other night I was on a gig playing bass, "Just Friends" was called, and as my solo approached I thought OK, stand back y'all... I mean, I've been blowing over this thing for years, and it's a great tune to play over. And I STUNK UP the joint. So the next day I went back to "Just Friends" and started all over again, which is a great thing to do every so often.

It's a jazz warhorse, so you gotta know it. Here's the head, and in subsequent posts I'll go over some ways to attack your solo. Preferably not with the blunt instrument with which I attacked mine.
