Well yeah man, that is what this is all about. What is your favorite head that he has written. Russell is a great player. Let us know what you have gleaned from him. I am always looking for great blues ideas.

Tony,
I agree with you (and Dave) about Russell being a great player, and as I mentioned to you recently, he's a great friend of jazz guitarist Henry Johnson. I downloaded "A Dukeish Blues" from YouTube tonight, and if I get some Malone licks transcribed, I'll share them with you guys.
Speaking of sharing and favorite swing blues heads, last year I recorded "Birk's Works" by Dizzy Gillespie. Guitar doubles with trumpet on the head, and I plan to score my solo on this minor classic for future release in the MGS series. Hope you enjoy it!
- Mark
