What is this lick?!

I hear this lick all over the place but have not been able to find it in a lesson. I must be overlooking it.

At about the 5 second mark ending 9 seconds is a quick way to hear it. Any help finding this one in a lesson would be much appreciated, thanks!

It’s often called the “Six White Horses” lick, it gets taught here:

It’s a closed lick so it can be moved over any major chord (JD uses it in C there).

It’s also used to great effect in the Jazzy Joy to the World :grin:
