I'm preparing Joy Spring for college auditions, and I'm looking for as many recordings as I can find to listen to. Anyone know any cool versions? I've been looking for versions with bass solos, but haven't had any luck so far, so if anyone knows of any recordings that feature bass that would be great. Thanks!

Houston Person & Ron Carter, Something in Common
No bass on it but the one is pretty cool: Duo - "Joy Spring" - YouTube
I love the bass feel they get.

Who cares about bass solos and interesting, yet lesser versions of a classic? Get the Brown-Roach version (I've never heard better) and learn Clifford's solo! That will teach you something about melodic soloing.

Hopefully, you can find the bootleg version of Sting playing it with Slash, Anthony Braxton and the Berlin Philharmonic. They do it in 5/4, Key of E, with a twenty chorus hurdy-gurdy solo and lyrics adapted from Samuel Beckett and Carroll's "Jabberwocky." Come to think of it, I believe it's on his Christmas cd.

Thanks for the recommendations! All those recordings sounded great, and of course I love the clifford version as well!

The definitive version is the Max-Roach recording, and Brown's solo is one of the more well-known trumpet solos. Not quite on the level of Miles' "So What", but pretty common. If you feel compelled to take the easy route, there's several free transcriptions of the solo online.
