Line comes from Charlie Parker’s solo on Celerity.
You can play it over a G major chord. If you transpose the lick, it will work over any major chord.
Hadn’t done any tenor sax video lessons for a little while, so I figured I would do a few.
First note is G. Try it out, let me know how it goes!

Thanks! I never have any idea what to play a jazz solo, and the words on the sheet music indicating the scales are a completely different language for me 😀
You’re welcome. It takes a little time to learn anything new.
can you give me the notes for alto?
Just play the notes as written for alto. Those would be the original notes actually. It will be the same lick, just in a different key.
