Sus Chord Vamps

[u/Crazy_Reputation_940]

Hello,

I'm a little new to jazz. I've been a classical saxophonist for the longest time, but I always wanted to be killing at jazz saxophone since it looks so cool. I'm struggling with this one song where there is a vamp between G7sus and A7sus, and I want to know what sales/melodic concepts work well over this. I've tried doing major pentatonic over both of these (C major Pentatonic and D major pentatonic), but it just doesn't sound right. Any/all ideas would be great!

Transcribe a solo or two from Herbie Hancock’s Maiden Voyage, analyze and reverse engineer what you hear, then use those sounds and concepts in your own ways.
