Time Has Told Me solo Larry Grenadier

 As we finish off this year I think really have a lot of positive takeaways from this challenge. Mostly though it is more confidence in taking on things which seems to be helping me in my teaching.

Looking forward to 2021.

This solo has some really great 16th lines in 3/4 that I'm hoping to mine. Really clear rhythms.

    Nice solo! There are some fast lines in there that you executed well! Loads of positive from this "year of transcriptions!" Mostly for me it generated a great deal of vocabulary that is slowly working its way into my playing. The fact they we kept at it is a nice affirmation about our dedication of self improvement, while acknowledging that it never ends. Like a shark, stop moving forward and you die. So lets keep swimming into 2021.

Walkin solo by Miles Davis

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.

Careful: Jim Hall solo

 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. ☺

St. Thomas _Sonny Rollins solo...

Great solo by Sonny Rollins. Been meaning to learn this forever. Had not been able to get it past 80% but gave a stab at it a few days ago at 100% and here it is .... so much info in this recording.
