Tweet I’ve taken all of the solos I transcribed on Relaxin’ At Camarillo and put them in a score. The take is listed at the beginning of each stave. It’s pretty cool to look at these solos stacked up like this. There are a few instances where Charlie Parker played exactly the same line in [...]

Tweet From the four takes that we have of Relaxin’ At Camarillo, Take C is the one that was chosen for release. This was actually the first of these solos I transcribed. The difference between this and the others was that I learned this one by ear and committed it to memory before writing it [...]

Tweet Here is another take from “The Complete Dial Sessions.” After putting this 3rd take down on paper, I’m beginning to see some patterns emerge throughout. I’ll share some of those in a later post. Amazon.com Widgets

Tweet Here is the next take of Relaxin’ At Camarillo. If you look at the 8th and 9th bars of each chorus, you’ll see that they’re almost exactly the same. Also, check out the 4th bar of the second chorus. To my ears, it sounds like a mistake and the last two notes are articulated [...]

Tweet I’m spending a lot of time with Charlie Parker right now and thought I’d share a little bit of my work. This solo can be found on “The Complete Dial Sessions” by Charlie Parker. It’s a 4-disc set and has multiple takes of several tunes. It’s neat to listen and hear the differences and [...]

Tweet I’ve decided to move on from Hank Mobley for the moment and change strategies. One of the main things I’m working on right is learning tunes. I’ve been working on a couple of rhythm changes heads over the last couple weeks and thought it would be good to transcribe a solo with those changes [...]

Tweet This is the next solo from “The Jazz Message of Hank Mobley.” Bassist Doug Watkins takes a 1-chorus solo on Cattin’, a 12-bar blues in Bb. This is the first bass solo I’ve ever transcribed. This is basically a chorus of walking bass, but it was interesting for me to see how often Doug [...]

Tweet This is the next solo from “The Jazz Message of Hank Mobley.” Pianist Ronnie Ball plays 4 choruses on Cattin’, a 12-bar blues in Bb. Unlike the solos of Hank Mobley and Donald Byrd, there is no F pedal tag at the end; it goes straight into a bass solo. This is a nice [...]

Tweet As you may have read in some previous posts, I’ve been working my way through the solos from “The Jazz Message of Hank Mobley.” This Donald Byrd solo is the next installment of that series. Cattin’ is a 12-bar blues in Bb. This solo is full of enclosures and chromatic motion. Another interesting thing [...]
