OK, I'll stick my hands up! I went a bit OTT with the guitar on this one! Watch out Eddie Van Halen, the jazz guy's got overdrive too! download

I'd had this track in mind for some time but couldn't see how to approach it - until I actually did! It's another great jazz standard with that str... download

I struggled with this track for some time. All the versions I'd heard before didn't really grab me. I knew I should like it but couldn't get a hand... download

At first glance this is a 12 bar blues and on one level it is but on another this is actually modal jazz with three tonal centres. Great to solo ov... download

One of the Steelies most melodic tracks that lends itself well to guitar taking the main parts, as well as a solo. Plenty of horns in the middle ei... download
