Andy Hunter - Sofrito Trombone Solo Transcription (w/ Mambisimo Big Band feat. Michael Mossman)

[@SharpElevenMusic]

For the trombonists landing here, I know that the 8va's are rather unusual, but regarding the majority of musicians who almost never have to read even the F clef,, it seemed to take up more than enough processing power of the brain. Add to that reading up to 5 or 6 lines above the staff would cause some brain explosions. If you like that latin band by the way (yes, of which Jorre is part), you can find the complete tune it was taken from here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKbTaKWjec9pnKc and follow the band on here: facebook.com/Mamb%C3%ADsimo-Big-Band-943254069159991/

8va isn't that rare for stuff in that range in jazz related charts

[@nicholaschiselett5378]

Hey I signed up but there is bugger all trombone transcriptions and certainly not this one to save writting it out myself.

[@miri8761]

For me this is one of the most lovable trombone-solos ever. I am glad somebody wrote it down. If aliens find us, they won't kill us because of such stuff. The whole version of Sofrito is perfect in all parts.

[@amyredden3237]

I've known him since he was a student at Oberlin college/conservatory. Love how he has grown as a musician and a husband and father!

[@juliocesartenorioolivera5096]

Nice

[@lwendt1]

Now THAT'S a great latin bone solo!

Andy is the best

He is such a sweet and humble guy, love playing with him! What a beast :D And love your channel man, great stuff you have on there! 🔥

Oh, that must have been great! Cool!

[@alexandermarichal2312]

gonna be playing this solo for my school's latin jazz clinic, and hearing him play it like this is getting me excited to practice it

[@harrychong2284]

How’d it go? This solo is pretty hard

[@alexandermarichal2312]

@@harrychong2284 fucking awful lmao, I was way outta my reach on this solo but I ended up using some of these licks combined with improv

You should do the trumpet solo as well!

[@SharpElevenMusic]

Yeah! Yulieski is amazing! We should indeed 😁

[@soloriocesar8573]

Holy sh*t this is so high

[@yeliangarcia4623]

I love to see non-latin musicians improvise with the rhythm and flavor of latin musicians like it's nohing :)

Un sofrito

[@iljajoachim]

Wow Great Andy

[@sandrobraga4054]

Show!!!!!🎼🎵🔥🔥🔥

[@xRickAstleyx]

as a guitarist, its incomprehensible to me how people can intonate so quickly and cleanly using a frickin extending bar lmao. horn players in general really blow my mind

[@ravenger2445]

The slide is only half of it. The embouchure (lips) are the other half. Additionally, the higher you go in range, the _less_ you need to extend the slide. Higher trombone range is like playing a guitar with 3 frets and 15 strings - The frets are the slide, and the strings are the embouchure.

[@therealvaultyvaulty]

junior year of hs and i might have this solo, just looking at the sheet music is intimidating

[@maggoteater2290]

I like the contrast. the trumpet solo was very rough around the edges and this is pretty clean

[@zalannyari6584]

This solo is ridiculously better than the whole piece

[@benjitrombone4701]

how tf do I play that high ass f

[@tharealgavgav8306]

Fast air, high tongue. Try to sing the note and feel how your mouth is positioned, then re-create that when you play. Do not use a bunch of pressure to squeeze it out! Just practice some high chromatics and work your way up to it. The goal is to be comfortable! Also, a 12c helps lol ;) hope this helps, if you were looking for genuine advice.....

Super tasty.

[@amj.composer]

This solo was amazing but did I hear the lead trumpet play a goddamn double C in the beginning?

[@SharpElevenMusic]

Yes, I was on the session on lead alto, he did that

[@amj.composer]

@@SharpElevenMusic oh wow I heard the rest of the piece, good job on the sax soli after the trumpet solo

[@SharpElevenMusic]

Thanks! I was mostly sweating it and thinking "don't destroy this take with that amazing trumpet solo" 😂

[@IloveMusic-we2gy]

They look like the players from whiplash

[@francisj.opolko3728]

Anyone else notice that this transcription is in the wrong key? Playing in F minor but seems to be notated in Bb minor? Am I wrong?

[@SharpElevenMusic]

Hi Francis, I played as lead Alto on this recording session, so I'm pretty sure about the key 🙂 it also had been proofread by Andy himself and adapted slightly here and there to his feedback. It should be pretty accurate

[@francisj.opolko3728]

@@SharpElevenMusic thanks - He is an amazing player! Can you check at :17 I think his highest note there is a Gb not Eb? And then Eb - F- Db ... not sure then the chords follow his playing? Sorry to be a pest ...

[@Hijodenels]

Are you reading as if it's treble clef? You mention a high Gb and that's what is notated (in bass clef/F clef) but would be an Eb in treble clef/G clef. It's definitely in Bb minor btw.

[@julianp822]

Someone pls explain why the A is natural in the solo, I’m ignorant and would like to be a better musician.

[@ahmedal-zamzami9683]

I know this is 8 months after your comment and you probably know by now But this song is in Bb minor Which has B E A D G all flatted However Ab is the 7th degree of the scale And he used harmonic minor which means you raise the 7th by half step

[@brandonblount87]

Eww! 🤦🏾‍♂️😩🙌🏽💯🔥

[@Incolent]

Plz don’t use 8va next time. Makes things more confusing for fellow trombonist.

[@SharpElevenMusic]

Hi Qwerty, I explained why in a comment to the video here pinned to the top.As we have lots of musicians p^laying different instruments subscribed to the channel, I figured most people 1. almost never read bass clef and 2. certainly never read bass clef that high. Hope you understand, I uploaded a tromboneproof version for our patreons though

[@MrGeolm]

@@SharpElevenMusic Hi as a saxophonist I don't understand why trombonist don't like 8va? Can someone explain why ? I guess it's only because trombonists are used to read chart without 8va?

[@SharpElevenMusic]

@@MrGeolm Yes, when I transcribed this I had it proofread by a trombonist (Jorre speaking here, saxophonist myself) to discuss the 8va thing, and he already told me that using 8va was not usuall, instead 5 or 6 extra lines above the bar was common actually. But considerung most subscribers of this channel are either saxophone or guitar (like Timothy and myself) and are 1. not used to read bass clef and 2. even if you read bass cleff, definitely not comfortable reading with so many helping lines above the bar. So I decided to go with what I assumed would be the most universally readable chart to publish here. I made a trombonepart and pûblished that on the Patreon channel as well, In the end, it's all about habits I guess, and yes trombonists are very much used to read those charts that go well above the staff (something I learned as early as this week either :) )

[@MrGeolm]

Sharp Eleven Music above altissimo A I'm starting to count the number of lines ;)

[@SharpElevenMusic]

@@MrGeolm 😂, that's even rather late, and me too by the way. Around there you don't need to ask me to sightread,

[@angelmendez6638]

Los cubanos no son latinos, ni lo serán, ese es el apodo que les pusieron los gringos para reservarse ellos el apelativo de "americanos", y éstos se lo creyeron y encima orgullosos sin saber que están usurpando la cultura y raza latina, que es europea, Francia, España, Portugal, Italia....
