RE: I heard the same thing about Hubert Laws, that he wrote and memorized his solos,

Posted by rbolaw on March 16, 2017 at 10:28:12:
As you probably know, Laws was a Juilliard student, studied with Julius Baker and subbed in the NY Philharmonic and Met Opera orchestras. So he had formal classical training to say the least, and his albums, at least the ones I know well, are sophisticated, complex, and highly produced, and therefore I suspect have little pure improvisation.
But he's a jazzer first and can improvise with anyone.
