Patrick Bartley's Insane Solo on Cherokee

[@Saxologic]

Just unbelievable.

[@xethanndonttryme6983]

You know I never really will understand how Pat has such great feel and time while doing seemingly impossible lines both in and out of altissimo ranges. It's a mystery to me

[@nilesloughlin6845]

When you’re soloing you’re only really able to focus on listening to others and your own time-feel, and maybe some large-picture phrase ideas. The rest is preparation and familiarity, and planning/set-ups. He knows what the changes are and is familiar with ways he can/wants to navigate them, and he’s familiar with navigating the ranges of his horn. Add in practice strategies and some in-the-moment inspiration and boom!

[@MarkHallvoc]

Practice. Lots of it. Mystery solved.

[@xethanndonttryme6983]

@@MarkHallvoc ah. Very informative. I love the specificity behind this and how detailed every aspect was. 10/10 🙌🙌

[@TimMirth]

Transcribe and perform like 800 jazz solos from legends like Patrick...easy peasy.

[@JespersenPhoto]

@@MarkHallvoc imagine he also had talent... What a combo it would be. But fantastic he does it by practice alone... 🙃

[@kentbyron7608]

His phrasing is so unique. His gorgeous tone is unique. Love this guy. A gift to the world. May he live long and prosper.🖖🏼

[@Aidenlikesjazz]

Not only is Bartley incredibly well studied in the old masters' styles, he also adds his own beautiful lyricism to his solos with the control and articulation of a classical master. This is what all jazz musicians strive to do.

[@Bebopopotamus]

God. Damn. There is so much history in Patrick's playing but it feels so true to him. Seriously inspiring player.

[@andrewbaird3096]

This is just.... Damn.. God I love this dude's playing. Bebop perfected and his own thing at the same time.

[@dash3995]

that charlie parker lick at 2:34 is so goated

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Thank you for this transcription! I’m not the slightest bit interested in inspecting it for errors - I’m just grateful you took the time to do it and post it for everyone to enjoy. Hope your music is making you happy and keeping you striving!

[@akitikallc6161]

Wow! A master class in five minutes!

[@thetrumpetsource1270]

This was live! incredible chops and feel!

[@doce7606]

Since jamming with Emmet it has been obvious that Patrick is the new Bird . he could be that good ...

[@dougtube2006]

That was downright inspiring…

[@TakafumiSuenaga]

[@JakeChapman]

Paaaaatt!!!!

[@simonsays525]

Man, some of those high notes... Pat's like juicing notes from the heavens!

[@christopherherrmann921]

Yes, you heard correctly! He did it! 🥳 thanks man!

[@watusi1971]

Patrick, you're a perfect example of how to include the bounce into your melodies...

[@svetcamp5714]

Amazing technique and improvisation (alt sax of Partick)!!!

[@thomasgrady3103]

3:56 that whole section is full of earl Bostic quotes

[@RutherfordRyan1]

Another Bostic fan here….

[@sai3927]

[@SaxPracticemanJazz]

Burning!!!!!

[@magicanna4289]

At 1:51 was that some kind of common lick and if yes, where is it from?

[@billkirchner6738]

It's the "Mop Mop" lick.

[@magicanna4289]

@ thanks

[@kwootamuckbear9294]

Is that a player saxophone 😮

[@andreflottestupo-r9k]

1:50 is this rhythm a quote of something or just a rhythm everyone knows? i feel like i hear it so often but dont know where it came from

[@benjaminmarks8765]

Heard it in After you've gone I think

[@andreflottestupo-r9k]

@@benjaminmarks8765 what recording? i dont think its in the head

[@bobthechimp5431]

yeah I was wondering that as well, I don’t think it’s in after you’ve gone that was a different cliche

[@wforwadeed]

he does it in after you’ve gone live in tokyo but it’s just a well known rhythm quote

[@coyote1715]

Mop mop quote

[@seunghoyoum]

it feels like it should be notated in double time, meaning the 8th notes should be 16th notes and 8th should be quarters etc... Is there a reason why you transcribed like this?

[@dylanloew]

@seunghoyoum Cherokee is a 64 bar form always

[@RickFerzy]

arturo sandoval of the sax?

[@fanfoire]

Much better!!

[@isaacdes962]

​​@@fanfoireI don't think you quite understand how profficient sandoval is??

[@davidscher4303]

kazoo

[@mathiassautereau7263]

Music is difficult…

[@jamesmitchell6925]

I love how stupidly the enharmonics are written at the bridge. Great job!

[@gabechildress5854]

Nerd 🤓😭🙏

[@弁今日に鳴りマシタ-j1k]
