"Out of Nowhere" is a great jazz tune to groove to. It's not that hard to play some great stuff over those changes. This guy gets in jazz musician's terms really "outside." It's like transcending with music. Every riff is like diving deep into the transcendent and then coming back out. One person who did this really well was Wes Montgomery who I saw play at the Penthouse in Seattle back in the 1960's. He didn't play any of that octave stuff, that was commercial jazz. Here was this little guy sitting on a stool and his feet couldn't even reach the floor playing his ass off. Moments like that in life are rare.
Just try closing your eyes and grooving with it.
