Illinois Jacquet on “Flying Home” (1942) | Solo Transcription (Bb)
Here’s one of the most influential and important solos in imo, music (not jazz) MUSIC, history. A 19-year-old Illinois Jacquet was a member of Lionel Hampton’s big band, and in 1942, they recorded this solo. It was so memorable that Jacquet was expected to repeat the solo verbatim any and every time he performed it, even modern performances of this arrangement turn Jacquet’s solo into a soli.
But another major detail about this solo is that it was one of the first times a honking-style saxophone solo was recorded. That sound and style later shaped and evolved into the beginnings of modern pop music, R&B, Jump Blues, and rock and roll (to an extent lol)

Back again with another Bostic transcription. This is his AMAZING take on the historical tune Tiger Rag. This is one of his earliest solos as a combo leader and wow, he was really proving himself with these recordings back in the day. Insta - maximus_techer?igsh=MWd1cHY1YjFvZ2h5MA &
Patrick Bartley’s KILLIN’ solo over “Little Willie Leaps” | Solo Transcription (Eb)
zhlédnutí 5KPřed měsícem
I think a lot of the material in Vol 52 of Emmet’s Place is awesome, this tune being one of them. It’s melodic but very technical, has amazing use of traditional bop and swing lines but has many modern elements mixed in. Only problem is this compared to After You’ve Gone is night and day. Still an amazing solo all around and all of vol. 52 is worth checking out. Original live set: czcams.com/vi...
Sonny Criss’ BEAUTIFUL rendition of “I’ll Catch The Sun” | Solo Transcription (Eb)

Got another killin’ Criss tune for y’all. This is a track on his 1969 album of the same name. This song and the album as a whole is (imo) one of his career defining records. It’s beautiful, melodic, with all the technical facilities of bop players. His allstar west-coast lineup contributes greatly as well.

Surprising that this solo from his early days at Emmet’s Place hasn’t been transcribed yet. It’s filled to the brim with soulful and melodic swing/bop vocabulary. Patrick is one of those rare players knows how to make every line sing and soar through the listeners ears, and this rendition over Roy Hargrove’s tune is more proof of his technical proficiency and his experience as a musician.

zhlédnutí 5KPřed 2 měsíci
These names are some of the most recognized and praised of the jazz saxophone world. Carter, the trailblazer of the alto before Bird. Hawkins, the trailblazer for the saxophone itself. Woods, one of the men to pick up the bird-shaped torch dropped after his death. And Rouse, the middleweight of the Tenor Sax before Hank Mobley. All of them came together for “Further Definitions” a great album i...
Earl Bostic BURNS through 300BPM Bb Blues “Telestar Drive” | Transcription (Eb)
zhlédnutí 3KPřed 2 měsíci
Earl Bostic is somebody who’s current place in the wide world of jazz is wildly underrepresented, but at the same time, perfectly represented. On one hand, he made a string of R&B hits throughout the early 50s and is considered at best by today’s players, an incredibly well-rounded blues player. But on the other hand, you have household names like Benny Golson, Lou Donaldson, Art Blakey and eve...
Sonny Criss SHREDS “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” | Solo Transcription (Eb)
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 2 měsíci
I had discovered Criss this past year and, oh man, it has been a pleasure hearing this guy. Sonny Criss is a monster who is, unfortunately, a pretty obscure player from what I see. Of all the people who were directly inspired by Charlie Parker when he was alive, (Jackie McLean, Sonny Stitt, Sonny Rollins, Phil Woods) Criss is barely mentioned, if at all. It’s a shame lol. Hopefully this’ll get ...

Modern day Cannonball
Nah cannonball had a dark warm sound and almost sounded like tenor. Cannonball also was a genius. While Pat is really good, he's not cannonball
melodic warrior 🚒🔥
Damn
Bro listened to Patrick Bartley hell yeah
was there an interview where patrick recommended this solo? ik patrick knows all about rnb sax players
Yeah, it is pretty cool, czcams.com/video/6J4cNhtSAFM/video.html
A legendary solo.
What record?
you can search Earl Bostic Tiger Rag and it’ll show up
I’ve been a big fan of his playing for many years, but never heard THIS - good lord! The best compliment I ever got was on a jump swing gig with the great Dave Frishberg subbing on piano. On a break he told me my alto playing reminded him of Earl Bostic. I was on cloud 9 for a month!
hello mr meat man i am farting!
Amazing saxophone technique!!!
Well done on your transcription….. What a mofo performance
nice!
the attention to articulation in your playing is killer
That was Charlie Parker.
@@alphageek1011:00
LETS GET IT
What note did he not know? Criss is up there with Charlie Parker and Stift, very fast on the alto, pays to study and practice, R.I.P. CRISS, hope you’re in heaven entertaining the angels.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Ormai il jazz è diventato una gara a chi fa più note quasi sempre troppe e spesso inutili. Cliché e pattern sentiti e risentiti buttati dentro ossessivamente per sopperire alla mancanza di idee, fantasia e creatività che poco hanno a che fare con l'arte
amazing transcription! do you know what he quotes at 1:01? it's also in roy eldridge's famous 1941 after youve gone solo.
sounds like he's quoting "the stars and stripes forever," a sousa march
@@snobal4368 Yes , amazing, but who made it, a man or a software. The original is a 2/2 not a 4/4 with sixteenth notes. Youtibeis now full of software transcriptions, and full of mistakes.
More likely written by Bird and stolen by Miles.
Would it be possible to upload a melody lead sheet? Great chart and solos!!!
@@OCTOKATSbefore I give you any resources I must say this, going to these recordings and listening, learning, and figuring out how to use your ear to identify the chords will pay you dividends in return. Your ear is one of the most important items in your musical toolbox and developing it now will greatly benefit you. With my own experience as an aspiring musician, I promise it will help you! With that being said, you can find it on google pretty easily. Go to google (I use google for lead sheets all the time) and search “crazy rhythm lead sheet” or something along the lines of that, then go to either “images” and or “shopping” at the bottom of the search bar. I might show you images of the lead sheet from the Hal Leonard version of the real book first, that’s the one you want. But it might have the sheet but with a “preview only” watermark on it. Then go to the website the image it’s from for a bigger version of it. Happy shedding!
Can we just go ahead and NOT do the “GOAT” thing? It’s done - thanks in advance, world … 😎
Incredible job!
After You've Gone is amazing in terms of story and building - but this one also just describes Patrick in such a traversal way in that he explores a bunch of language pre-established by player's he obviously loves (Adderly, Hodges, etc) while also explore super modern harmonies that he could only have thought of. Thanks for sharing!
0:54 wait how did this happen? how did the band know to accent those 4 beats? or like was it called upon by a previous phrase? it just felt so locked in almost out of nowhere woow!
The first two were just chance. The 3rd Emmet caught on and the 4th Kyle caught on.
@@nathanking635 wait really? so sometimes they just really hit the same accent by accident? that's so cool!
0:24 - the new licc? (Seriously, awesome modern quote)
He’s quoting all night long by the Mary Jane girls for folks who may not be familiar. Such a cool thing to quote
@@DaltonBell-pr1ts lmao I knew I had heard that lick before 😂
yeah Ballzuru!!!
nice transcription dude
geez you can hear where Cannonball came from in Carter's solo.
that figure at 1:44 sounds like something modern. killin!
Lou Donaldson said he was the best technical player. Those high notes are unreal. There is another piece where it's like a dog whistle.
Bostik certainly had his own thing going, and his false fingerings certainly influenced a lot of players. Technically great, but he was no Phil Woods, Cannonball, Stitt
@@Selmerpilot technically and musically flawless, im sure all three players you named were heavily inspired by Bostic, considering he was before their time, this must be your first time hearing him.
@@koju3891 I can't speak for Cannonball nor Stitt, but I knew Phil pretty well and he was never influenced by Bostic. I know David Sanborn absolutely was and he adored him, and Phil for that matter. Bostic's contribution can never be forgotten, he truly had his own thing going and only he could do it. The same could be said for Boots Randolph.
I have all his records. outside of those in the know he doesn't get enough love. Listen to his rendition of Black Coffee or Smile.
nicely done!!
so glad ur shedding light on this solo, this performance is one of my favorites from emmet's place
Is “ghost tongue” just doodle (or deeden) tonguing? Like holding the tongue on the reed?
@@gdludus yup same definition lol
Got to love a high quality transcription.
YEAH!!!!
The Fmaj13#11 should be F13#11. Haven't heard the original recording of the tune, but in this performance Emmet and Russell treat it as a dominant IV chord with a #11.
@@UkuleleAversion thanks for clarifying lol. In the head (of the og recording and this rendition) they use that maj13#11, but both recordings actually do flatten the 7th for the solos. Originally I thought it was interchangeable but it’s true form and intended harmony was the maj7, but now I know they primarily use the dom7 for that chord in the solos always (idk how I didn’t realize it before lol they emphasized it constantly)
@@ballzuru5983 Ah, I see. Honestly, then, it could go either way. Fmaj13#11 isn't strictly wrong then if that's what is played during the heads. I had the same problem when transcribing an Emmet Cohen solo over People Will Say We're In Love. On that performance, the changes are super different to the original song (from "Oklahoma") and the bassist and Emmet often sub in changes like the bIImaj7 for the V7 chord. So, I had to take a kind of average of all the chord changes played for each chorus.
Absolutely mind blowing what this guys does, you can hear the love he has for music in each note
hooolllllyyyyy s........ whoaaaaaooooo....
what a water mark
Cooked!!!!!
excellent work! you'd think with the wealth of recordings he made in his lifetime, he'd be better remembered and appreciated but i feel that most west coast musicians in general tend to be overlooked and forgotten unfortunately
I just busted a blood vessel!! Earl Bostic was so far ahead of his time! Coltrane noted him as one of his first idols! I'm sure Charlie Parker was practicing his butt off after hearing EB? After all, he was born in 1913 and Charlie Parker was born some seven years later in 1920, Coltrane 1926, Lou Donaldson 1926, Cannonball Adderley 1928, Phil Woods 1931, Oliver Nelson 1932 and David "Fathead" Newman. So these 'cats' were definitely listening to Earl Bostic 'coming up'. What I loved about Earl is that his solos weren't only technically flawless, but there was SO MUCH FEELING INTO IT! This is unlike many players TODAY that can play technically fast, but the feeling is completely gone! I won't mention the few players that do this because I'm not interested in hearing from the haters! But Earl Bostic was definitely a GOAT, or THE GOAT of the Alto Sax.❤❤❤❤❤ And unbelievable transcription!!!
Jesus Christ. I'm selling my horn
Don't feel bad. Even great players pale in comparison!
check out Eddie Harris's solo on Oleo. it's another one of those solos where it makes you second guess keeping the horn lol
if you think this makes you want to sell your horn you gotta hear Up There In Orbit by Earl Bostic and Cherokee in 12 keys by Chris Potter
goat
Excellent solo with so much feeling, even though he's 'ripping' technically throughout!❤❤❤
yeah!!!
OMG I LOVE SONNY CRISS!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
