Bud's Blues: Sonny Stitt Solo

Great bebop solo that is almost playable in places.  Sounds too sloppy at 100%, so choose to slow it down a touch.  I am also including a summary of licks and technical things that I want to take away from this.  So many little trills in bebop.  I am devising some exercises to be better at adding them to my playing/lines.  Using the trill symbol (mordent) in the notation out of pure laziness...

    Great work. Those double time licks are worth working on.

There will never be another you: Chet Baker 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.

Not You Again: John Scofield

Worked hard on Sco's articulation.  This seems to be the key to finding where his lines are most playable.  Loads of hammer-ons and pull offs.  I am not playing this at 100% but I will.  This is a joy to play at manageable speeds, so it is worth getting it up to 100 (probably should have started sooner).  Also have it memorized, as per the monthly challenge.  I will get the other stuff up in a day or two.

The Oracle_Dave Holland

This one is from a duo recording with Kenny Baron and all the solos are worth transcribing. Love the 6/4 Phrasing and long lines. Barely got this up to speed and made a few slight flubs. Mix isn't great either but hey..
