Kenny Kirkland (Transcription) - Bring on the Night

[@yurikahiyama4017]

This is the solo that changed my life.

[@vonmadeit7395]

This may just be the greatest piano solo of all time. It might take a few more decades for people to really understand the depths of what’s really happening here. Kenny is going nuts for 3 whole minutes and he would’ve went another 3 if he didn’t get cut off.

💯💯💯

[@perhyberg388]

Yes, there are other version of this song on KZbin where he just goes on and on, including parts of "Flight of the bumble bee" etc. Totally amazing, I never get bored of this song, the finest piece of music ever recorded IMHO.

Complimenti per la trascrizione! Rende ancora più visibile e apprezzabile la genialità di Kirkland

[@vincenorman]

One of my absolute favorite piano solos ever. I wrote a paper about it when I returned to college in my fifties.

[@juanortiztranscriptions728]

This is one of the solos that made me LOVE jazz :)

[@manuva3]

@@juanortiztranscriptions728 Me too!!!

[@radlfohrnisgsund]

possible to get this paper? :)

[@juanortiztranscriptions728]

Pdf is available on my website, first link that appears in the description of this video!

[@radlfohrnisgsund]

thanx @Juan Ortiz for the advice of the PDF, but I was thinking of this "paper" written by @Vince Norman. I guess Mr. Norman, you wrote a transcription inclusive a complete analysis, didn't you? This was my question. :)

Man, the way he keeps it in key, almost just straight blues / boogie style - then just when you've settled in, he goes off on some crazy out of key run - I literally get a physical spasm when I hear it. Just god-like. Dammit.

1- wonderful transcription, congratulations!! 2- a legendary solo, remarkable, timeless, genius. I bought the album back in the late 80's and 30+ years later I still listen to Kenny Kirkland's solo with a sense of wonder, amazement and awe. It gets me emotional every single time. And it is because of the quality of the craft, the absolutely masterful control of rhythm, pitch, and energy.

[@amosmiller9556]

got to be the greatest piano solo in the history of pop music. thank you for genius work transcribing a solo I've had in my head for 30 years

[@juanortiztranscriptions728]

💯💯💯

[@UkuleleAversion]

I love that oblique fourth movement he repeats on the Em7's throughout, especially 2:01

[@paulwwells]

One year on KZbin decides to show me something I really need to see. Thank you for this Juan, a surreal experience to see Kenny Kirkland's brilliant work written down.

[@heriparedes6674]

Merci Juan

[@yaronbrecher7397]

Madterpiece of a virtuoso Genius pianist. Must listen

[@TBX819]

Super. Choice and Quality of the notation of this otherworldly solo. THX!!

[@juanortiztranscriptions728]

Thank you!

[@anitahoxha5499]

I can't stop listening to this, it's so genius

[@stevenponte6655]

every couple of years I decide to try and tack this solo. Today is that day again! :) great transcription. Theres an awesome live version (not the same night) but instead of focusing on Kennys playing they decide to focus on Sting dancing up and down the stage!!!

[@juanortiztranscriptions728]

I have watched that video too 😊 Good luck with the solo, it’s worth every second of your time and effort.

[@csmarkham]

That one is Tokyo, but this Bring On The Night was Paris, no? Also my favorite solo; I always get so pumped up and grin at the key change runs.

[@Eden_Rubin_Music]

One word-Monster! Two more words- Of Groove!

[@tracythejazzlifer4529]

I was at this concert , It was Sting featuring an all jazz musician lineup. 🎶✨😊

[@juanortiztranscriptions728]

[@luke125]

RIP Kenny

[@heriparedes6674]

Quizá lo veré en algunos meses. Dios decirirá

[@vitaminfian]

Amazing!!!!!

[@rpm4999]

👏

[@zachwolfe8884]

Great work! I've been looking for a transcription of this solo for a long time. I don't have the skill or the patience to do it.

[@juanortiztranscriptions728]

Thank you 🙏 Hope this helps!

[@dan27music]

wow.

[@manuelamarsili331]

Uno degli assoli più belli mai suonati (live!) e nel film che parla di quel tour non c'è la ripresa completa di questi formidabili minuti che hanno fatto storia! Sono rimasta scioccata e delusa.

[@daveh4722]

Kenny was so brilliant. Sting can pick ‘em. The amazing thing was that he picked out the emergent jazz musicians at the time he did: Branford, Kenny, Omar, Darryl

[@heriparedes6674]

Gracias al señor Juan Ortiz por el enorme trabajo (y yo sé que son días) para la delicia y el aprendizaje de todos. Quisiera poner más en valor su trabajo porque yo soy profesor de piano jazz y pienso que honor a quien lo merita, deseo que sea mi amigo en Facebook Instagram o lo que usted quiera Saludos Heri
