When The Saints Go Marching In- Trumpet Solo Blue Mitchell
This one was a bit longer but really like the 8th note lines. Likely not getting this up to tempo this week but will continue to work on it. I'll post video later this week.
Absolutely loved this one. For the most part it is easy to play except the few triplet and 16th note lines. Great use of space. I will probably take more out of this solo than any other horn solo.
I have come to the conclusion that I stray too far from the melody when soloing. This is a perfect example of melodic development and embellishment. Very short, but great little solo. Didn't put any great effort into the notation... but oh well.
This is a Jim Hall composition that he recorded several times during his career. This version is from a Gary Burton album " Something's Coming!" from 1963. I have been really into Jim this past month. Truly the father of modern Jazz guitar. Solo sounds easy, but it gave me some trouble. Even though Jim isn't known as a technical player, he has his moments with rakes and slurs that are hard to replicate. Amazing sense of rhythm and melody. You are going to see and hear lots more of Jim in the coming months. ☺
YEA!!
