[Dixielandjazz] Soloing next

Gene Hovland said:  "Question:  Improvising a solo is easier if I am 
the 1st soloist after the
ensemble plays.
I have the slide in motion and the musical phrasing happens 
automatically.
If I am the 2nd or 3rd soloist, my solo phrasing is not as good until I 
get
into the solo.
What is the best thinking process while waiting to solo so it has a good
clean start?

Gene"

Easy answer--just remember what your solo would have been, had you been 
first!  ( Also, keep your slide in motion while waiting to play, since 
that seems to be your stated "secret" to your soloing - -though it may 
just just make you look like you are nervously fidgeting)
