I always liked that bluesy taste in some famous bebop themes. After seeing (once again) Junior Watson's masterclass where he recommended to learn "this little bebop themes" I decided to make a short instrumental piece. My main idea was to incorporate as much bebop themes as I can :) (they must be ok with jump blues context). So here it is - "Bebopin the blues". For those who familiar with these songs - please post their names ;)
for harmonica nerds:low eb diatonic harmonica in 2nd position :)

Blue Monk -- Thelonius Monk
Now's the Time -- Charlie Parker
Tenor Madness -- Sonny Rollins
Ornithology -- Charlie Parker
Blow Mr. Dexter -- Dexter Gordon (not sure on this bit)
Straight No Chaser -- Thelonius Monk

Cool stuff, Konstantinos. Not easy sounding that fluid on a low harp like that.

Wheel: That sounds really nice, and did I hear a quote in there from a Gary Primich instrumental starting at the 1:11 mark, or did Gary borrow that line from someone else?

I'll put times to my guesses:

0:02-0:25 Blue Monk -- Thelonius Monk
0:25-0:47 Now's the Time -- Charlie Parker
0:47-1:10 Tenor Madness -- Sonny Rollins
1:10-1:18 Ornithology -- Charlie Parker
1:18-1:26 Blow Mr. Dexter -- Dexter Gordon (not sure on this bit)
1:26-1:38 Straight No Chaser -- Thelonius Monk

This the first bebop tune I heard Toots play.
I swore I would play it one day.

Grey Owl, thank you so much! :)
timeistight , you are right! I played a "Doxy" by Sonny Rollins after "Ornithology":) Thank you so much for your kind comment and versions! BTW at the end I played "Blue Monk" again. But I must agree in some aspects it's similar to Straight No Chaser.
harpoon_man , thank you! I can't remember Gary's instrumental with this quote. Please help me! :)
Diggsblues , nice version! Thank you for posting it :)

Wheel: The Primich quote I was thinking of happens at about 1:24 of "The Poodle Bites" on Gary's Travelin' Mood album. That's a great tune.

Ross Garren, thank you so much! :) Sorry that I did not answer my proxy did not show your comment for me.

timeistight, four out of five! ;)

harpoon_man , I listen to this song now. Yes! You are right. I think he was influenced by Now's the Time and Tenor Madness in the head of the song. Yeah Gary blowin' variations on "Ornithology" by Charlie Parker at 1:24! Gary was a true master. one of my favourites! thank you for attention to this album. Next song "Knock Me A kiss" is very jazzy and old jazzy-pop evergreen :)
