      @xethanndonttryme6983 Před 2 měsíci +2

      Comparing this transcription to Sharp Eleven’s transcription of Patrick Bartley’s solo, I think this one didn’t really highlight the nuances between using flats and sharps to highlight chord shapes and notated certain things that can’t really be described by sheet music (hence all the appoggiaturas) along with certain quotes (like “Lester leaps in” at the end) that aren’t transcribed correctly. But, the pitches are accurate and even catches certain notes that sharp eleven missed. Nevertheless it’s still beautifully transcribed.

    Wow. It's odd, I can hear Bird, Cannonball, maybe some old Bix Biderbeck bouncy influence, just a wide variety of influences that sound very very traditional jazz, yet he does these perfect modern modulations slipped in where he really plays outside, then plays "traditional" again. Yet through the whole this he's got a very unique and personal style.
