Here' a lesson on how to take a melodic phrase and extract useful musical vocabulary that can be applied to various musical contexts, instead of just in the original song and key.
Here Robbie Barnby does not focus on the entire Donna Lee head, probably because it's such a long head. Instead, he focuses on a 3-measure fragment of the head which happens to be played over a major 2-5-1 chord progression.
One of the comments on the video stated it's the Honeysuckle Rose lick. It's really more than just that lick though. The Honeysuckle Rose lick is played on the 2 chord of the 2-5-1 progression. The rest of the fragment goes with the 5 and 1 chords and are not part of the lick at all.
