Think of it as an artistic über-altissimo. 8-)

Some of the "squeeks" WERE über-altissimo :P

By the way, it doesn't mention the name of the song anywhere that I can see, but one of the best moments in the solo was near the end (4:20) when he made train sounds! Now you know what is the song! :-D

It's 'Take The A Train'..... my old buddy Johnny Coles on trumpet. And Clifford Jordan on tenor....

EDIT: sorry clarnibass, I didn't see that you already identified the tune!!!!
