The thing that always fascinated me about Little Walter is that his
measures didn't always lay perfectly over the top of the measures being
played. Sometimes he was a half measure ahead and sometimes he was a
couple beats behind. But, harmonically, it fit. I've heard a lot of jazz
vocalists do this as well. You really have to feel it rather than try to
count it. It's like that secret spice that brings a recipe to life and
captivates the taste buds.
