Transription of John Coltrane's solo on "Pursuance" on trumpet by Charlie Porter

[@MrJazzalive]

You are awesome. Playing sax licks on trumpet. Lots intervalic jumps going on. Back to the shed with the metronome at 60 bpm for me. Wow.

[@geraldcody]

Badass! Great job on this transcription! It’s interesting to hear a trumpet play that period of Trane!

[@G8tr1522]

The end of the piano solo at 0:01 is one of my favorite jazz riffs ever. I get goosebumps every time to that.

[@ax10yz232]

This is absolutely incredible man, so much respect.

[@marcusfigueiredo9258]

Man, you was born for that

[@robertmbruno]

Wow ! That was fun , Hotlips.. I want to go back and look at it again and again . Yea man , thanks for sharing the good news . It was nice to read ,listen , and remember from a different point of view ,namely your trumpet . Blow yer soul!

[@hdsrvc]

great job - I transcribed it for myself when studying Tenor under Joe Allard at NEC in 1975 ... you did an outstanding job of transcribing it and playing it - great job !

[@pauldavies9360]

2:25!! That's just something else right there

[@macree01]

Yea man! Nailin the shit out of a really tough solo. Amazing work.

[@jacobwisenbach123]

I think that was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. Amazing job sir

[@HeliBenj]

I love this piece. I still can´t play it on the sax so I can't even imagine on the thumpet... you rock

[@NiecieB65]

Nice. You give great lessons too. I am starting cornet. I watch your videos religiously. Thanks.

[@MrSunofbeach]

holy......... man. you are awesome!!!!

[@sasquash12]

Fantastic. This is an amazing effort. Thanks for making this public!

[@NicoHw76]

Impresionante!!! Excellent job!

[@SuperJox]

I thought it was a duet then I realized its you kicking butt. Wow! good stuff!

[@DavesTrumpet]

Respect! 25 years ago I transcribed and learned the head (m. 227) out to the end- just a small portion compared to the overall solo. I know how very difficult this tune (and the rest of Love Supreve) is!! You did an incredible job! Would love to hear your performance of this solo without 'Trane in the background. The things you could do with that solo over different things, funk jam, hard bop, etc. Cool!

[@Bbrookie]

That was pretty amazing!

[@hiemergeorg]

[@samsing2300]

Charlie porter, you're like the most legit dude ever...

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

EPIC!!!!!

[@RonaldoPereiraSaxofonista]

Nice bro you used real notes for some falsefingers(overtones). im working on this solo and is so difficult to know which fingering coltrane used. like Max Douglas said below, much respect!

[@mysterytomastery1]

Thats great man!

[@ericlane23]

Charlie, thanks...I always play better after I watch one of your videos...my neighbors thank you too. :)

[@gilleslegatuke]

[@jeffmill]

[@sgworth]

I agree with the guys below....awesome job and I too quit....

[@aperionproject]

Damn, nice.

[@fernandamoran5143]

Sos un crack!!!!

[@allrawful]

Questions, Charlie; - How long would it take you to learn something like this? (after transcribing it) - Do you have a strategy for learning things like this? A system, like Clarke's "how you practice" idea, working from the end to the start, beat by beat? Would you slow it down and work up the speed, or get sections worked out then join them together? Brett

[@aloncohen2841]

hi charlie, i love the way you play and the way you teach. this solo is beautiful! what articulations do you you use? legato, tonguing, double-tonguinging?

[@omololaadeola5702]

W T F! This is awesome

[@TheTruthIsWEIRD]

Hey Charlie this a really stupid but I'm a trumpet player new to playing jazz and I have a question about when you or other plays these long and fast runs on solos. Do you tongue all of these notes or slur them? Or do like tongue some and slur others? I can't really imagine tonguing all of this at this tempo.

[@Modes9]

All that "out" pentatonic stuff sounds like Woody Shaw when you do it on a trumpet.

[@YourMomZorz]

skills

[@wriveros]

Fucking genius Coltrane was

[@quantica812]

молодчик !!!

[@robloxperson1]

I'm a 7th grade trumpet player taking it slow on this song... I think I'm going to try to learn all of the notes, and THEN start playing it... :I

[@bluepythonproductions]

This is insanely hard. I thought I was good...

[@MarijaMedvedeva]

Hi, Can I ask you to send me this transcription?

[@GregoryPearsonMusic]

That is a very challenging solo to say the least - did you take away anything special by walking in Coltrane's shoes in this solo - it seems like it is bursts of licks with ever-increasing chromaticism and dissonance

[@wisarut.nualkaew]

I quit.

[@wisarut.nualkaew]

WTF!!

[@Bbrookie]

That was pretty amazing!

[@robertaguirre8632]

great job!
