Genius who worked hard. Wow

This is a very good transcription. You made me notice things I was mis-hearing. My own transcription is slightly wrong in some places. Many other transcriptions are wrong too. For example, I thought the first phrase is 6 5 R 5... of the chord (still sounds fine), but it seems to actually be 9 7 9 5... I thought the b7 in measure 9 was actually the 7th of the major, but he's arpeggiating a dominant 7th. I thought in bar 10 he played the upper structure of an Em9#7 arpeggio but he's actually playing the upper structure of F9 (I don't know why it works, it's not a tritone sub...but it works!) Parker does very interesting things that later jazz musicians don't do. I don't know how he managed to be so brilliant in such a short life. Sometimes I hear fragments of modern (at the time) classical music he seems to have absorbed. Brilliant improviser.

SO KILLING

I wish they played the melody more like Donald Byrd's band. This is like a different song even if it has the same changes, like a contrafact. Also wish Herbie would have stuck to a melody them a bit before he starting that frantic solo. But this was in the middle of a concert where they were picking up heat, I was hoping for something chiller

Are these Solos slowed down?

Holland's solo was sick!!

After all these years: Thanks, thanks, thanks!

What a great transcription of a very interesting Lovano solo. Sometimes I think Lovano is all about his sound and soul, until I pay closer attention to his rhythm, harmonic choices, phrasing and interactions etc :). He is a mysterious cat, there is only one Lovano.

how is he given his line and choice of notes following the form? at least i dont see or hear it till around 2:45 or so

the lonk has expired :(

It's a crime for you to have such few subscribers. I'm a saxophonist in the US, and I greatly appreciate your efforts to make educational videos. My goal this summer was to get at least a dozen more bird solos under my belt, to say nothing of my creative interests. I find videos like these very motivating. My saxophone was stolen last year, and the student model Jupiter a friend gave to me went finally went kaput; Doing transcriptions--and of course the music--are what keeps me positive and hopeful that I will get a horn again, and continue carrying the torch with the greatest respect to those who came before.

Bird was a fucking genius

The link for the pdf file doesnt work:(

Parker on tenor uff

A beautiful big alto sound, and the man knows the changes:)

Such tasteful, beautiful, clean playing. Stunning! Thanks for sharing all these, Remi.

Someone yelled "well alright" quess that says it all........

🎉❤🎉

Anyone know how to translate this to guitar tab?

Thelonius Monk simply cannot hit a wrong note. What a genius...absolutely love his playing.

Unbelievable: both the solo and the transcription

Cela mérite une transcription pour mieux comprendre encore plus tout le processus d’improvisation.

is 1:15 pop goes the weasel but minor? lmfao

This is jazz! Genius masters. Big men game.

Found this clip after reading the book Three Shades of Blue. So cool

hi, thanks, do you have this for c instruments perhaps? cheers

Awesome work Bro Steve G, RIP.

My favorite Bird solo!

The poor guitar player who has to follow him...

Amazing SCO

Magic exists ✨️

Gracias por tan bella labor Sr Bolduc

Remi, could you please let me know where you found this recording?

I do not even play the sax, but really enjoyed your analysis, thanks.

Great video. Thanks

Incroyable.

Merci Rémi !! Bravo !!

HEY HEY HOLD IT

Que massa! Ver uma transcrição fidedigna, com as notas certas. Eu achava que estava ouvindo coisas demais, mas agora não tenho dúvidas. Compassos com notas certas em relação ao The Real Book: anacruse do compasso "A", compassos 12, 13, 18, 23, 26 e 32. E o final com a frase completa. 👏🏻🎷💪🏻 Apenas discordei em algumas divisões métricas, que em vez de vir colcheia e duas semicolcheias, vieram quiálteras de tercina. Exemplo, compasso: 18 e 31. Outra coisa interessante é que seguiu as notas certas dos acordes, campo harmônico, sem substituir por notas enarmonicas. Muito bom! 👏🏻

Bird truly was the GOAT

Wow! This one is a lovely solo. It is full of rhythmically interesting ideas. Thank you so much.

Herb Geller on Alto

merci Rémi, très bien tes vidéos. Très honnêtes et sympathiques, à ton image . Au plaisir

I love this video, Remi! I am very pro transcribing! I apply the concepts to my own music and teach what I learn. Getting off the page is the key to sounding great!

Merci Rémi, de partager.

Excellent points throughout. Merci Rémi, très apprécié.

interesting thank you ! I like you your reminder at the end that we should embrace the diversity of a musical journey , i think that's deep.. and indeed it prevents us from going into dogmatism, which would be only a projection of our personnal needs and journey into others lives. About transcribing, and from my personnal experience, I think the most crucial part is to PLAY the solo, over and over, imitating not only the the notes but also and more importantly all the aspects that makes a player great: sound, energy, beat placement, feeling, accent, intention. Those cannot be written down and require deep imitation. Then, and that's what I forget in my formative years, go beyond the transcription and be creative with it: for example: play in the style of, intuitively, or extract a phrase or a concept and play with it.

Transcribing my own scat solos and playing them on my horn is my #1 way of refining my own vocabulary

Merci
