  • "Some Skunk Funk" (Michael Brecker's chorus) transcribed and played by Benoît Sauvé/Recorder,Flûte à Bec,Flauta Doce*.
    *Keyless recorders with double-holes upside-down (recorders for lefthanders)
    Amongst the various work methods that I have experimented with in improvisation, there is one that I have found particularly beneficial: transcribing choruses from recordings.
    This series of videos reflects part of the work done on a few of these amazing solos.
    Why transcribing solos?
    Although studying the various scales and chords,and the relations between them,is essential in learning to improve,putting these theoretical notions into practise can be very laborious.
    This is why making transcriptions of actual solos can be so useful for training aural perception and instrumental technique,as well as allowing us to analyse the styles of great jazzmen,enrich our musical vocabulary,and thus help develop our own musical ideas.

      I somewhat disagree. This is Great stuff, awesome, inspiring, instructive and and a vindicaton of the recorder and dedication... but, in my opinion, the actual solo improvised on the spot by Michael Brecker originally is more legendary even ;)

    Besides how impressive this is from a technical standpoint...it is also interesting that he plays it "reverse" handed with the right hand on top.

    • @adondebass
      @adondebass 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That's because he's left handed. He's playing this with a recorder made for left handed which has the two holes inverted. I don't know personally the guy, just read the description.
