Urban Renewal Jazz notes

Jam to "Daahoud"

Imagine Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood" double time, played in bebop style.  That's pretty much what we have with Clifford Brown's "Daahoud".
This is a difficult tune, probably the brown belt level of jazz playing if done well.  It is challenging harmonically.  It is challenging to swing at this tempo.  There are a whole lot of notes to remember.  And it has a peculiar song form. The solo choruses are a straightforward AABA in 32 bars.  Nothing unusual about that.  But the in-chorus has a difficult 4 bar tag before the solos start.  The out-chorus has that same 4-bar tag, plus a 3-bar drum fill and a final lick to end the tune.
