Honestly I think in this case (and several others but not all the time obviously) it adds to the intensity of the music (if not forced). It makes the overall experience more genuine to me and although my favorite recording of Moanin is on Blues and Roots this one is amazing as well.
@@raidone7413 Going to be very general and brief but in short it is the highest register of woodwinds. For saxophone its generally considered anything above a high F#.
This solo is absolutely monstrous. The starting lick that’s solely chromatic REALLY draws you into it by the groovy rhythm and the jazzy harmony of the chromaticism. And the “failed altissimo notes” add an incredible amount of tension to the ending. Almost like they were meant to be failed. Love it.
Goodbye, Ronnie Cuber. I have always loved your music and I am so saddened to hear you go. I wish in my life I could have heard you live but I’m so grateful I got hear your music on this song and many other tunes. I truly enjoyed hearing your music. RIP and fly high legend.
I played this for my senior feature piece for high school. It kicked my ass. (Obviously not the solo) this song is controlled chaos from start to finish.
@@kirin8735 in my opinion leo playing it is a novelty, something i pull up when i want to show off what the bari can be to people, but i rarely find myself listening to that recording casually, meanwhile i listen to Ronnie and Pepper Adams' recordings a couple times a week, just because of how legit good and raw the tracks are
I’m a freshman in high school and have been pressured into playing this for the jazz band😂😂. I learned the main portion in the beginning then tried the intro and our piano player goes “hey don’t mess with Ronnie Cuber’s solo it’s suicide”. I lost it after that, thank you so much so I can actually play this song now though!!
Wish I had this in highschool when I transcribed the whole thing by ear but can sight read sheet music.. FML what a bloody fun time that was though. Etched into my memory, still hum it some days now over a decade later.
Hey guys, thanks for all the nice comments! 😁 If you'd like to learn how to blast this one, the sheet music for this is available here:www.musicnotes.com/l/KVVqZ OR to get a stream of likewise transcriptions, check our Patreon page, where we have this among many other extra's for all the kind people supporting our channel: www.patreon.com/sharpeleventranscriptions
Hey Nathan, L.D. means Lip Down (lower lip), actually playing just a bit with a flat intonation, this being done by giving less pressure with the lower lip (but really keeping a good airsupport with your diapraghm, otherwise it will sound very shaky it you may even fail to produce te note). Hope this helps
No problem at all, I believe besides here on TH-cam by me there is also another downloadable transcription of this solo online. We published more than 60 pdf's for free on our website, but keep some of the pdf's now for our Patrons who support the channel, just to cover the costs of hosting that website, hope you understand
I use a high G fingering that's just front F but you take off the middle finger. Honestly altissimo is mostly about overtones, so start practicing those if you want to get really nice sounds out of the horn.
@@slightlybasic2431 That's super helpful! I'll give it a shot when I'm at my horn. I've got different fingerings I use for that G. On my alto, 1-3-4-6 +octave sings in tune. On my tenor, 1-3-4-RH high F# +octave is best. I honestly don't usually go that high on bari. Altissimo is wacky.
@@sinisterniik Yeah altissimo really is weird. I can still only play F#, G and for some reason D, which is why I'm practicing overtones to make it work. I guess I just got lucky I had been using a fingering that worked for learning this song.
one way to play high g, if you have an f sharp key, hold the front f and the f sharp, thats how i get a high g on my tenor. though not convenient for switching from gfd gfd and etc.
Are these changes exactly what the piano player played or just to the chart? Some are very different from what I thought they were supposed be, specifically the F7 after Dm in the A section, thought that was a Bb Maj 7
I wanna see Leo P or someone do those really high note in the beginning and the solo, probably because I’m going into 9th grade but those highs are impossible even with altissimo keys because you have to play reallllyy fast
Hey, that's an indication of a "glissando", meaning those notes are connected with a rapid succesion of all the notes chromatically (ever half tone) in between. Nothing bari specific, applicable to all instruments 🙂 hope that helps
Hi Ian, that's to indicate a so called "false fingering", where you take an alternate way of fingering the same note. In this case you'd have to play F with the front key, and to get the alternate fingering sound you press 123 in the right hand. Go back and forth a bit and you'll hear a clear etxture shift between two F's up there. Hope that helps, Jorre

00:20 that legendary "OEH" even made it on the transcription lol
Omygod I didn't even notice ahah. *icONIC*
This isn't the first time someone put that into their transcription :o
Splarff
Unironically has groove
hearing sax players miss altissimo then finally get it is so satisfying

Bass player here, what's an altissimo
@@raidone7413 Going to be very general and brief but in short it is the highest register of woodwinds. For saxophone its generally considered anything above a high F#.
James Milligan nope, as a saxophonist I can confirm that’s its F#
@@NoahSkinner4 Also as a saxophonist I would say it's F

"few failed altissimos"
basically all my solos 😭
Kevin Choi it's ok you'll learn it eventually I play sax too

That’s awesome currently freshman and attempting a combo lol
Funny how, thanks to youtube, this is the best known version of the song even though Mingus himself is not playing in it
You ever hear Leo p play it
@@kirin8735 in my opinion leo playing it is a novelty, something i pull up when i want to show off what the bari can be to people, but i rarely find myself listening to that recording casually, meanwhile i listen to Ronnie and Pepper Adams' recordings a couple times a week, just because of how legit good and raw the tracks are
It’s such a good recording
Leo P at the Proms has 14 million views....
I don’t know why but every time I hear this song it makes me extremely hungry and so far right now I’ve eaten five five dollar foot longs
Maybe cuz ur stomach is moanin
same
Cap
This might be my favorite solo ever! Thanks for the transcription!
They forgot to put the “uh huh” in bar 5.
Evan Weaver noooo?
@@bartsimpson9894 yes?
3:02 it's just one note but i love it so much
Nothing's better than seeing someone have wonderful sax
Elevator sax
1:30
* steel tongue mode activated *
Xayacota you know its actually not that hard to do that but yeah I get it good joke
Tonguing at that speed would be somewhat difficult if you don’t practice articulation much, but he’s definitely not tonguing all those he’s slurring.
Well actually he is trilling with the two notes which is the "musical" term
I just learned Ronnie Cuber died, rest in peace and thank you for being a big inspiration to me and others

May He Rest in Power 🎷
those failed altissimos are perfect in every way! makes the comeback one of the best moments in jazz ever!
Yes, couldn't agree more!
Great tune. Heard it first when Leo P 2017 Poms came across my phone.
I always love the transcriptions of solos ans solies.
RIP Ronnie Cuber :(

Nice work on the transcription but a question though, What does L.D. mean? ( its on the first page of the score above the Ab)
Hey Nathan, L.D. means Lip Down (lower lip), actually playing just a bit with a flat intonation, this being done by giving less pressure with the lower lip (but really keeping a good airsupport with your diapraghm, otherwise it will sound very shaky it you may even fail to produce te note).

@@SharpElevenMusic Oh it really did, thanks man.
oeh
RIP Ronnie, man was a legend. Forever my favorite “vintage” Bari player.
Really appreciate you've done this for us
Thank you :)
You're welcome Hicham, glad you enjoy! 🙂
Ronnie’s tone is so nice
やっぱりいつ聞いてもかっこよすぎてやばい笑笑
Looking up “Moaning” To find this song was not a good idea
this solo is the reason i started playing bari.
Hey man, sorry. I didn't know this was the same channel and I thought it was someone trying to copy you. my apologise.
No problem at all, I believe besides here on TH-cam by me there is also another downloadable transcription of this solo online.

1:06 this line is so good
wow, I didn't know you can play such high notes on the saxophone...
Ronnie cuber is my favorite
Have you thought of doing seamus blake's goodbye pork pie hat intro?
In fact, I did 😃 that's one that could be up soon at this channel
#11 Music thanks so much. I'm extremely hyped if you do it!
@@nicholaswise5818 thanks to letting us know, the transcription just might have moved up on the list 😉🎷
Heyyy you should docthe trombone solo in gunslinging bird... btw i and many others loved this, so thanks!
Rip to a legend
Great choice! Very cool playing.
I wish I played bari sax instead of tenor🫤
Edit: I FINALLY GOT ONE!
RIP Ronnie Cuber :c
Nicely done
I was playing this song on my bass clarinet
REALLY nice work :D
Thanks I'm piano player and now I'm going to learn the whole thing
This is in Eb transposition I'm 99% sure. Usually Z transcribes the part to fit with the tuning of the instrument.
Thank you
This song is amazing
3:18...can anybody explain me what those xs under the E min 7(b5) stand for?
It’s just a note that isn’t quite sounding.
Thank you!
Thank. You.
Holy crap thank you lmao someone finally did it
But how does he trill the F and G in bars 22, etc.?
It's so smooth... Does he have a high G key on the horn?
I use a high G fingering that's just front F but you take off the middle finger. Honestly altissimo is mostly about overtones, so start practicing those if you want to get really nice sounds out of the horn.

Nice!
Have some many error with solo transcription but its cool at intro, Appreciate.
Good
please please please please PLEASE do the solo at the very end
Fabulous..
The absolute B A S S in this recording holy
I don’t know how to do altissimo :(
Anyone got any tips?
Practice practice practice
*Few failed Altissimos*
literally dying inside XD
Are these changes exactly what the piano player played or just to the chart? Some are very different from what I thought they were supposed be, specifically the F7 after Dm in the A section, thought that was a Bb Maj 7
It's Bmaj7!
Anyone know who the tenor player is on the Blues and roots Moanin record?
Mclean
I wanna see Leo P or someone do those really high note in the beginning and the solo, probably because I’m going into 9th grade but those highs are impossible even with altissimo keys because you have to play reallllyy fast
Leo played quite a few high notes in his solo
I'm going to have a heart attack
I'm new to the bari sax but can anyone tell me what are the swiggaly lines going from one note to the other
Hey, that's an indication of a "glissando", meaning those notes are connected with a rapid succesion of all the notes chromatically (ever half tone) in between. Nothing bari specific, applicable to all instruments 🙂 hope that helps
@@SharpElevenMusic thank you very much
I don't know if anyone will see this, but what is the + symbol in measure 6?
Hi Ian, that's to indicate a so called "false fingering", where you take an alternate way of fingering the same note. In this case you'd have to play F with the front key, and to get the alternate fingering sound you press 123 in the right hand.

Hope that helps,
Jorre
@@SharpElevenMusicThat helps. Thank you so much!
What tempo
Low A?
Vadim Magazov it’s easy, well if you have the attachment which is a button under the octave key on the Bari
2:15 Transcribes a squeak😋
Just so you know how a squeak looks like 😉
I prefer the leo p version. This is still awesome though.
2:52 STANK ON
Pretty sure moanin is in F minor
Raid One It is. Bari sax is a transposing instrument though, so this is written in D minor.
Honestly, I think failing a couple altissimos amongst successful altissimos sound good
LEOPがやってたやつ？
Wasn’t he 18 when he played this
this in 2 4
1:07
1:07
Leo p?
No but he did do this song on the bbc
Oeh
OEH
oeh
Why are we not hearing the real sounds... Good job anyway
This transcription is garbage. You forgot the “ow” in measure 15 haha
Notice how there are very few likes on this comment
