Lester Young’s solos on “Jump, Lester, Jump” | Tenor Saxophone Solo Transcription (Bb)
Sorry for the lengthy break lol, I meant to do all this last month but college caught up w me. Shoutout to New York pianist Charles Chen for hooking me up to Lester. Prez was one of the major influences of Charlie Parker, and I’m pretty sure we all know who HE is lol.

Illinois Jacquet on “Flying Home” (1942) | Solo Transcription (Bb)
มุมมอง 7802 หลายเดือนก่อน
Here’s one of the most influential and important solos in imo, music (not jazz) MUSIC, history. A 19-year-old Illinois Jacquet was a member of Lionel Hampton’s big band, and in 1942, they recorded this solo. It was so memorable that Jacquet was expected to repeat the solo verbatim any and every time he performed it, even modern performances of this arrangement turn Jacquet’s solo into a soli. B...

Patrick Bartley’s KILLIN’ solo over “Little Willie Leaps” | Solo Transcription (Eb)
มุมมอง 6K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
I think a lot of the material in Vol 52 of Emmet’s Place is awesome, this tune being one of them. It’s melodic but very technical, has amazing use of traditional bop and swing lines but has many modern elements mixed in. Only problem is this compared to After You’ve Gone is night and day. Still an amazing solo all around and all of vol. 52 is worth checking out. Original live set: th-cam.com/vi...

Earl Bostic BURNS through 300BPM Bb Blues “Telestar Drive” | Transcription (Eb)

Earl Bostic is somebody who’s current place in the wide world of jazz is wildly underrepresented, but at the same time, perfectly represented. On one hand, he made a string of R&B hits throughout the early 50s and is considered at best by today’s players, an incredibly well-rounded blues player. But on the other hand, you have household names like Benny Golson, Lou Donaldson, Art Blakey and eve...

I had discovered Criss this past year and, oh man, it has been a pleasure hearing this guy. Sonny Criss is a monster who is, unfortunately, a pretty obscure player from what I see. Of all the people who were directly inspired by Charlie Parker when he was alive, (Jackie McLean, Sonny Stitt, Sonny Rollins, Phil Woods) Criss is barely mentioned, if at all. It’s a shame lol.

Your ear is one of the most important items in your musical toolbox and developing it now will greatly benefit you. With my own experience as an aspiring musician, I promise it will help you! With that being said, you can find it on google pretty easily. Go to google (I use google for lead sheets all the time) and search “crazy rhythm lead sheet” or something along the lines of that, then go to either “images” and or “shopping” at the bottom of the search bar. I might show you images of the lead sheet from the Hal Leonard version of the real book first, that’s the one you want. But it might have the sheet but with a “preview only” watermark on it. Then go to the website the image it’s from for a bigger version of it. Happy shedding!
