On the Sunny Side of the Street: Kenny Barron solo (Left Hand)

I am a little disappointed with my choice here.  Turns out there were no magic chord voicing hidden in this one.  Standard piano shell chords.  Kind of weird/hard to transcribe, fairly easy to play.  I feel like I should have lifted the comping under the bass solo instead.  Oh well.  My takeaway is that very little chording information is needed to imply the changes.  I need to devise some exercises for interspersing comps into my single line playing.  Still love this solo though!

  1. Lots to grab onto rhythmically. Sometimes it is nice to find out that things are actually easier than they sound. Good job!

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.

Love this one but still a work in progress. 80% speed...barely. A lifetime of work to take from this. I really need to go back and mine both Dexter solos for vocabulary....

May Madness: Like Someone In Love etc

 So this month was about working on taking some licks around the cycle and playing through Like someone in love as well as this short and sweet solo by John Patitucci on Like Someone in Love. I had some struggles notating the last 4 bars but really got a lot out of the solo especially the fast double time lick over Dmin7/ G7#5 at first ending. That is one of the licks I took around the cycle. Also kept playing previous solos from this year and worked on blues ideas. I am just posting the solo for now.
