      @xethanndonttryme6983 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Comparing this transcription to Sharp Eleven’s transcription of Patrick Bartley’s solo, I think this one didn’t really highlight the nuances between using flats and sharps to highlight chord shapes and notated certain things that can’t really be described by sheet music (hence all the appoggiaturas) along with certain quotes (like “Lester leaps in” at the end) that aren’t transcribed correctly. But, the pitches are accurate and even catches certain notes that sharp eleven missed. Nevertheless it’s still beautifully transcribed.

      All his Emmet's Place episodes were great as are all Pat's J-Music Ensemble stuff. I'm a Consouls fan so some years ago got a YT recommendation for J-Music and I was immediately transfixed by Pat's playing. Every note has life and soul.

    Wow. It's odd, I can hear Bird, Cannonball, maybe some old Bix Biderbeck bouncy influence, just a wide variety of influences that sound very very traditional jazz, yet he does these perfect modern modulations slipped in where he really plays outside, then plays "traditional" again. Yet through the whole this he's got a very unique and personal style.

    I've listened to this solo about 20 times and I just noticed an awesome moment between Russell hall and emmet cohen at 1:47 when Russell starts this descending sequential pattern and emmet catches it like 2 bars later and plays it with him.

    We can all look back on this and remember we heard him when... This solo is so good, you could spend an entire course analyze it. I also enjoy the use of double sharps by the transcriber.
