How to Get this sound

Try using these notes when improvising. Lee Thompson uses a very simple harmonic approach when soloing,
mainly using just pentatonic (5 note) scales. Also try using rhythmic patterns in your playing to create energy. Even just
just staying on one note and playing a rhythm can sound great.
Try making your own solos using these notes:

Cool licks from this solo

Try playing this pattern over your whole horn starting on different notes. It sounds great to use small sections
in your solos to add some movement and colour.
