This clip is loaded with goodies, but I'd pay special attention to Horace Silver's piano solo starting at 4:10. It's a masterpiece in motific playing. Listen to how each new idea gets reworked and rediscovered. I like the little quote from Charlie Parker's tune "Ornithology" in there. Also that hip line at 4:38. When I listen to this tune, I'm reminded of how fun it is to play jazz, and how cool it has always been, and will continue to be with you on the scene. Get out your Aebersold's people, and start experimenting.
