   He continues up …
   He continues up chromatically and then head back down the Eb mixolydian scale, landing on the #4 (or b5, depending on how you look at it). Now the whole line so far looks like this (use your ears for the rhythm, here are the notes: Eb-D-Db-C-Bb-Ab-G-Eb-E-F-Db-C-Bb-A. Actually, I’ll ume you play tenor and do the transposition. In this case, the song is in F and the line is:F-E-Eb-D-C-Bb-A-F-F#-G-Eb-D-C-B. He uses F mixolydian and uses #4 and natural seven for more “outside” sounds. Also blues.

   I recommend …
   I recommend transcribing. After time, things like this become easy to hear. But if you’re having trouble, here’s whats going on (I’m talking concert pitch cuz I don’t know if you play tenor or alto or what, I’m transcribing on guitar, you can do the transposition) The song is in Eb (mixolydian mainly) and at 2:32 he plays down that scale with a natural 7th passing tone (D) like this Eb-D-Db-C-Bb-Ab-G-Eb. The Bb lands on the down beat. I’ll continue in another post.

   Tom’s a master. Not many like him. I’m not a great fan of the idiom but I can listen to Tom anytime. The BEST!

    I was in the …
    I was in the audience in Zurich, Switzerland in the mid 80’s, the series was called “Jazz-In” for Swiss TV. I was lucky enough to watch rehearsals too. A local musician (this time Francis Colleta on guitar) was allowed to put his dream band together and in 2 days they would put together a set of live music. I got to meet Joe Sample and Alex Acuna, both very friendly, Tom Scott was a real ballbuster to Wolfgang Schmid (b)….thanks so much for posting this - any more of the same show?
