Transcription Challenge

 January 2022... Ray Brown still continues to wow me. This solo I've had been wanting to do for awhile. Mostly because it is a lot of 16th notes and no chordal instrument to accompany.  The interesting thing about this tune from Sonny Rollins Way out West recording is that it starts in the key of Gb but after the first time through the head they move it down to F for Sonny's solo and Ray's solo.  I have a lot to work on in this solo but found it directed me to apply the bebop scale when practicing.

 Well here we go again... Frisell is a musician that I was meaning to get to in our last challenge.  Such beauty and nuance in the seeming simplicity of his playing.  Extremely difficult to recreate.  So, after 2 months of a steady diet of Frisell, dusting off my volume pedal, and working with letting strings ring,  this is my offering.  I like his early work with Paul Motion.  Hearing him play standards is helpful in nailing down the techniques he uses.  I also notice that his solos are often very closely related to the melody.  Shows to go ya....  melody is king.
