Jazz Improvisation and Transcriptions. Sunday, March 22, 2015. Lage Lund's Solo on Stablemates. This solo comes from Will Vinson's Live at Smalls. I am a bigger fan of guitar solos without a piano comping, I feel it restricts some of the ideas. I will post some pianoless solos soon. Stablemates - Lage Lund. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Jazz Improvisation and Transcriptions. Monday, June 2, 2014. Bill Evans' solo on Invitation. I finally got around to transcribing a Bill Evans solo. The man is a genius. This is his take on the great standard "Invitation" by Bronislau Kaper from his beautiful album with Eddie Gomez "Intutition". He adds an 4 bar extension at the end of every chorus (including the melody) to bring it back to C minor more smoothly. Bill Evans - Invitation. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Jazz Improvisation and Transcriptions. Monday, February 10, 2014. Clifford Brown's solo on "Kiss and Run". This is the first transcription I am posting of the great Clifford Brown, there will be many more with due time. "Kiss and Run" is a Sam Coslow standard that has not been often recorded but Sonny Rollins album Sonny Rollins Plus 4. Gives it a great rendition. Clifford Brown - Kiss and Run.

Jazz Improvisation and Transcriptions: November 2013
http://gabrieledavila.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Jazz Improvisation and Transcriptions. Sunday, November 24, 2013. Horace Silver's solo on "Silver's Serenade". Another great solo from the album. By Horace Silver. "Silver's Serenade" is one of my favorite Silver tunes and his solo in this tune is just great. His solo is very idea oriented, he uses a lot of question and answer phrases and enjoys the space. Horace Silver - Silver's Serenade. Sunday, November 3, 2013. Junior Cook's solo on "Silver's Serenade". Junior Cook - Silver's Serenade. I am a guitar...

Jazz Improvisation and Transcriptions: Bill Evans' solo on Minority
http://gabrieledavila.blogspot.com/2014/08/bill-evans-solo-on-minority.html
Jazz Improvisation and Transcriptions. Saturday, August 2, 2014. Bill Evans' solo on Minority. This is my second Evans' solo and I am real excited about it. This one comes from his classic album Everybody Digs Bill Evans,. Definitely an album everyone should have. "Minority" is a 16-bar standard in F minor with a great amount of inconclusive II-Vs; this is a great solo to steal some of Bill's II - V's ideas but that is not my favorite thing about it. Bill Evans - Minority. View my complete profile.

http://gabrieledavila.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Jazz Improvisation and Transcriptions. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Lage Lund's solo on How Deep is the Ocean. This one from his debut album Romantic Latino for Ladies. A very laid back version of Irving Berlin's standard, "How Deep is the Ocean" with some great swing and a beautiful solo. Really well balanced linear solo; some blues, some bebop, some harmonic minor and some diatonic lines. This one was also a bit of work but definitely worth it. Enjoy! How Deep is the Ocean - Lage Lund. Lage Lunds solo on ...

Jazz Improvisation and Transcriptions. Sunday, March 16, 2014. Charlie Parker's solo on "Half-Nelson". Let's continue with the Bebop trend. Another great short solo from Charlie Parker, this is from Miles' album "The Birth of Bop". The title says it all, bebop all around. This is an F blues with some different changes (and a great turn around) so it is a great workout. I'll post Miles' solo in a little while. This short solos are great to steal some lines and work them out. John Lewis - Piano. Some good ...
