You’ve unearthed some gems here! I’m always happy to hear any new Dewey or Charlie. Since I struggle with changes myself, I like players that show what you can do with phrases even when changes aren’t in charge. On the other hand, Dewey sounds like he’s on the changes with ATTYA. You can see why more virtuosic players wanted him in their band.

Beautiful stuff. This post makes me want to seek out bootlegs from these lineups, and also to borrow your idea about posting sound clips and discussing them this way on a substack post.

Thanks for posting!

Dewey is def on the changes, and I think he always was when he chose to play this kind of thing. Still a bit of a shock though, hearing his melodies thread the harmony. Thanks for comment
