- Kenyon from Bebop Boot Camp here.
I recently finished transcribing one of my favorite solos of all time and I wanted to share it with you.
It’s Troy Roberts’ (KILLING tenor player, composer, producer who tours regularly with Joey DeFrancesco and Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts) extraordinary blowing on the Thad Jones’ songbook staple, “The Groove Merchant.”
Seriously. One of my favorite solos. Of ALL TIME!
I love the way he weaves blues, bop, ‘three against two’, and SO MUCH soul with his impeccable time and huge sound in this 5:14 clip. Willing to bet you’ll dig it too… - เพลง
nice title!
Bernie is the GOAT
Just got to sit in on a workshop session with Troy. What a great player and a fine person. Thx for sharing. Just love his tone and laid back style.
Thank you!
Troy's a prince for sure! Thanks for checking out the transcription.
Great work transcribing this. Makes you wonder what they put in the water in Perth. Wow..
Thanks Tony! Now that you mention it if I ever see bottled water from Perth, I'm buying cases of it!
The approach tones on those 16th note runs really put the bop on it
Thank you!
Flawless bop language for sure!
Had the pleasure of seeing Troy with Joey DeFrancesco a few years ago. One of the grooviest cats alive

Governor Ambassador for the tenor Saxophone one Mr. Troy Roberts... DAAAAAAAA ... ng
Oh My!
Thank you!
Troy is one bad boy!
Yeah he is!
Cheers!
Fantastic solo of all time!!!!!!
Thanks!
No doubt Grant!
Absolutely killer! And DYNAMICS! Something that I just have not seen a lot of players use lately!
Also, when I first saw this video I thought it was Joey DeFrancesco on the organ just from the shear brilliance of the backing. It is actually Emmet Cohen on organ just slaying it with both the comp and the bass line. Shout out to him as well. Amazing performance!
No question! Emmett and the whole band sound amazing! Thanks for checking out the transcription.
Hot damn, that first chorus is hip.
Thank you!
For sure! Thanks for checking it out!
MY NEW SAX HERO!!!
SuperDonThe1 Awesome!

Troy plays a mean sax!!! ...and I mean that !!!
Thank you.
No doubt!
Anyone know what mouthpiece he's using here? great sound
Nice touch Troy!
He's incredible, right!?
@@KenyonCarter yup like to hear a tenor doing something else other than Becker rip offs for a change
Thank you!
@@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic you deserve it mate. All the best from an old tenor guy from England!
Cholo Jazz. Cool
Jeebus, this is some serious hipness.
Yes it is!
Cheers!
Yes sir. Curious as to why they did it in Bb instead of Ab. Swingin tho, great transcription.
Esquilin Music Thanks!
That was the key that Jerome Richardson recorded it in on the albums "Groove Merchant" and "Jazz Station Runaway"!
Hey Kenyon, where can I find the print-format (PDF?) of Troy's solo? I'll have to work on this for weeks...
Here you go Patrick Verda - Enjoy!
