You and me both! I'm still studying what Jakub played.

A lot of doing (transcribing), software to slow down the audio and a lot of plays and replays (where it wasn't clear to me) to have time to hear everything. But this is me without perfect pitch or a good ear. Others might take less time and with less effort. I'm still practicing and learning. It also helps to have a keyboard near to try to replicate the harmonies you hear and see if they match. Also, even so, I did slip some errors into the video version. I've since made edits to the PDF to be more accurate.

​@@PianoDigitalScores Thanks a lot, are there some easier compings to transcribe that you started with and can recommend me to try? I don't think there are many people that could do much better than you here, there is always room for improvement but your level is a goal for me right now. Relative pitch is a slow process and a long journey but I don't think that having perfect pitch would be way better, surely you wouldn't have to ear train this much, but I have friends who have perfect pitch and are not that good at hearing inner voices (because they never train) or just don't have the patience to transcribe long solos or compings.

What listening to OP's summer samba does to a mofo 💀

Debatable

Thank you! 🙏

I'm so happy! Feel free to share it with someone else that would find it useful.

Wow, thank you for that feedback!

Can you imagine how writing it in 6/8 will increase the difficulty of reading the transcription? I believe Barry is referring to a 'feel' rather than time signature.

For sure! He's magnificent as well.

You're welcome! I am studying his approach but not as much as I'd wish. I don't know if Jakub was his student. In the original video, at the end, Barry asks for the name of the pianist.

You are welcome!

Hey man! Thank you for your feedback and corrections! The one in m.20 was already fixed. I wanted to reply to you sooner but I had to finish going through the whole transcription again to check for other mistakes, which I had already started doing (took a while, I know). I've found other mistakes and fixed them and will soon be sending out a pdf update to everyone that purchased it.

You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

100%

Thank you so much!

I just listened to small passages at a slow tempo (more times than I'd like to admit 😅).

He sounds like Oscar but isn't a clone IMO. If you want to hear another side of Marian listen to AM Call.

@@PianoDigitalScores I'm very familiar with "AM Call." With the exception of the funky title cut, Petrescu's style has "Oscar" written all over it. If I didn't know the album and were to close my eyes while listening, I'd say it's Oscar. Don't get me wrong: Petrescu's immensely talented (and so are you for transcribing this!), but I wish he'd add more of his own style. If I wanted to listen to Oscar, I'd listen to Oscar (and have been for over 50 years. Even though OP has been my gold standard all those years, I also like the McCoy Tyner-inspired younger players like Eldar, Taylor Eigsti, etc. who (especially in Eldar's case with his super-fast interpretation of Oscar's version of "Sweet Georgia Brown"), can play like Oscar, but can also play outside lines as well. Oscar didn't do that, as he was mainly an inside player.

@@tomgiles1484 (Thank you!) It's true that most of his recordings are laced with Oscar's style but I believe if you listen closely you'll notice where Marian puts his own fingerprint. For example, have you noticed the difference between the two when they comp? Looking at the difference between AM Call and the rest, I'd also like to listen to more of that style.

The members of the combo are in the video description, if that's what you were enumerating.

What's the brazilian thing?

@@PianoDigitalScores before the answer, I say he is trying to put a binary subdivision into a ternary swing American feel. That is the problem (while the rest of the drum set is not). In this rendition it didn’t worked. Sorry for my bad English. More importantly: if you like you are listen, it’s ok. This is what matter.

I'm working on a similar transcription and might focus on piano accompaniments for a while. Keep your eyes peeled 👀.

If you're referring to me I assure you that's not true.

Most likely he's reading the lead sheet. I doubt he wrote his improvisation beforehand.

​@PianoDigitalScores yeah sometimes these crazy cats do so unsure

​@nezkeys79 lol no way he wrote out his solo . It's improv over the changes

I mean... he literally lived through the era.

😂
