Listen to Herbie do his thing on his fourth album as a leader, “Empyrean Isles.” This tune “One Finger Snap” would later go on to become a jazz standard.
After some more conventional bop playing, Herbie takes it outside in the last two measures of this lick with his signature “sidestepping” technique. This piece of the solo will leave you saying, “where did that come from!?”
If you have questions or suggestions for a Lick Of The Week you would like us to do, please leave them in the comments down below.
Happy Practicing!

Hi Lasio,
Please try now. We have fixed the issue.
Thanks for the heads up!
Just curious on the 4th measure is the harmony still on the C13? what he is playing very much outlines the Eb sus.
It’s very “outside” the harmony, so you could literally give justification for the notes for really any chord lol
