Parting Wisdom

We’ll be working on more transcriptions and they will always be posted on my site when they’re finished and uploaded. In the pursuit of quality, I will occasionally update and revise the solos when errors are discovered, or as I continue to hone my engraving skills.

I’m in the shed currently working on Sonny Rollin’s solo on “Oleo”, from Miles Davis Quintet’s 1954 album “Bag’s Groove”, and before that’s written out, I might begin on digitizing my transcription of Wardell Gray on “Bernie’s Tune” (Live at the Haig, 1953).

Stay tuned for that, and even more great saxophone content.
