incredible guitar solo at 6:40 - fantastic buildup from simple phrases to shredding, never loses the groove
mark lettieri is such an incredible player

8:34 cool triad-ey guitar part
8:48 followed by another insane guitar run, with more staccato feel
...
such an insane guitar run here, want to transcribe it. not sure i have the chops!
...
...
6:48 i love how the rhythm guitar tastefully builds up slowly in intensity here
peaks later at 7:01
...
...
love this long guitar run that starts at 1:48 and syncs with the drum hits at 1:55
would love to #transcribe this
...
diminished arpeggios in the intro go so hard
...
here there's an extended guitar intro, but the melody is recognizable at 1:55

the bowed bass in this song makes me think of insects chirping on a summer morning
...
this song genuinely almost brought me to tears yesterday
every version of this song [
Spain] makes me think of the coming of spring, and of the feeling of freedom, of running through a field of green grass under a blue sky, of the absence of fear and obligation. the feeling of being alive

15:22 the audience singing along is so precious
makes me so happy to hear the crowd singing along
little #call-and-response going between the audience and the piano
...
the bowed bass at 2:00 sounds so good
brings such an tranquil feeling to the song
all the other instruments feel like they're floating above it
hearing the low e string bowed in particular sounds so good. its so deep and resonant
...
mei semones writes some really great intro riffs, which combine the catchiness and simplicity of an indie guitar "riff idea" with more complicated jazz language
this song is a good example of that. 
I can do what I want is another good example, as well as Dumb Feeling

absolutely killer bass solo (more like a bass break I guess) here
repeats the same motif but its totally locked in with the drums and feels incredible
...
I love the piano solo on this. It's pretty simple, starts mostly pentatonic but gets jazzier. Would be fun to transcribe
...

...
Lovely chromatically descending luck here - accidentally reinvented this once on the guitar while exploring the chromatic scale
...

The intro riff here is “recontextualized” when the drums come in - you count the riff one way before it comes in and differently after. Specifically you count the one on a different note.

I've listened to a few renditions of this song (Bill Evan's is pretty nice - 
Beautiful Love), and this is my favorite so far. What's strange however is that all of these covers are piano or guitar trios, sometimes with both (like Anita O Day's version - 
Beautiful Love).

I wanted to hear a saxophone or trumpet solo over these changes but couldn't find anything.
Taking a cursory look at Youtube (searching "Beautiful Love Saxophone Solo"), all of the results seem to be instructional (e.g. "easy beginner beautiful love saxophone solo"). Maybe these changes are too easy or boring for a serious sax player?

probably easier to #transcribe than any other version of this song, because it's slightly down tempo
...

the #synth #solo on this plays slightly outside in a way that shouldn't be too crazy to #transcribe
could be an easy starting point for trying to learn more harmonically adventurous solos
...
absolute banger of a #bass line
...

Insanely sick bass solo, easily my favorite rendition of this jazz standard. Love how the bass plays the melody of the song.
