That's cool man! The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Lennie Niehaus is his big band arrangements that all of us played, at least a few of, in high school and college and his etude books. But he's a great player too. His sound is the perfect blend of what I hear as being a classic post-pop alto sound mixed with that dry west coast sound.

I'll go check out his work on Cherokee with Kenton and scope out the solo on your web site. Thanks for inspiring me to transcribe again. I have to admit its been a while!!

Cheers,
