ERRORS: Bar 12 to 15 - Shift everything (starting with Eb) over by half a beat Bar 26 - First note should be G# Bar 57 - beat 2 should be a D Bar 65 and 66 - triplet should be between B and C. Bar 114 - Beat 4 should be an E

[@NotBroihon]

First note in bar 26 is a G# not an A. A damn good transcription anyway!

[@ejzeiberg]

@@NotBroihon Thanks, added it to the list.

[@samdelong6708]

Measure 9 is a half beat late as well

[@user-pw1je3um4x]

Bar 17 - first note should be A bar 25 - first note should be D Bar 50 - A should be on the third beat Bar 113 - beat 4 should be Eb

[@marcushill6551]

Fourth note in bar 28 should be Eb

[@chiefkibitzer9419]

Thanks for transcribing this. At long last I think I can finally play along with the first 8 measures

[@robertduis6730]

90% of the Trumpet-players ...:-))))

[@OssianEMills]

Another example of why Wynton Marsalis is a National Treasure. He should have his own Secret Service detail. Thanks for your work on the transcription!

[@ps3598]

what a beauty and what a great transcription, thank you sooo much!!!

[@juleswinter7083]

Holy fuck - Jeff Hamilton immediately catching that Wynton lick heading to cut time and the entire band following before seamlessly returning to normal?? Extremely impressive

[@rehanahmed946]

Me: I can improv over G Blues Wynton:

[@bjgrondell]

[@coldman340]

Yeah!!!

[@Mophony]

I can play a G above the staff. Wynton Marsalis: Hold my beer.

[@robertduis6730]

Fantastic in ALL aspects. I mean Wynton Marsalis and I mean the Transcription! However ..... I Do NOT understand the connection with Louis Armstrong in this "Portrait".

[@duncancofell8960]

Honestly as a sax player I don’t listen to enough trumpet players but this solo is so solid lmao.

[@brunoespinola7]

Great job! What do you think about transcribe wynton’s melody phrasing and solo on the theme?

[@maxwrigley3676]

He doesn’t play on the theme of this rendition so it would have to be a different one if you wanted to hear it from wynton.

[@AndersonSilva-bo6wh]

Wow!! so I like jazz🙂

[@UkuleleAversion]

What does the symbol on top of the E in bar 46 mean?

[@Junhahahaha]

ㅎㄷㄷ;;;

[@Mel-mm4ux]

That’s a baaad man right there!

[@AmruthNiranjan99]

missed a note beat 2 of bar 12

[@ejzeiberg]

forgive me, oh wise one

[@adamh951]

Forgive me, but I think beat 4 of 114 should be a rip down to an E

[@ejzeiberg]

Yes, you are right! Good ear, thanks for pointing that out.

[@swellmate12]

thanks eric zeiborg. Signed, adam smith

[@ralgos290]

Please transcript eddie daniels solo of Mozart's 40th Symphony In Gm.

[@SuperJemser]

I love these videos, but I can never find out where the actual instrument featured is supposed to start, there is no count in.

[@Juliusthebastard]

The "lay back a lot" section is metric modulation of triplets

[@ИннаБородина]

Классная идея с расшифровкой партии солиста. К сожалению, нотный текст без акцентов и синкоп, очень плохо читается... И тут возможно размер такта не 4/4, слышен явный "затакт"... Может быть 4/4, но из за такта

[@SeanLeonDrumz]

One of the many reasons Wynton is one of the best trumpet players to ever live.

Очень вкусно для уха не понимаю завистников ищющих лажу фу фу фу!!!!?

[@godspods7681]

Bruh what are the ᴄʜᴀɴɢᴇs

[@ejzeiberg]

During this performance, the band inserted an open solo section for Wynton at the top of "Portrait of Louis Armstrong", but I believe the chords are not following the progression from the rest of the chart. It's quite possibly just a concert G blues, but I'm not certain.

[@pablobatavia5433]

It reminds me the changes of Django Reinhardt tune Minor Swing !

[@NeoManoscaMusic]

Dan nimmer thank god 😂

[@IIT1964]

2:43 the licc

[@clarisusa]

Not even close but sure

[@IIT1964]

@@clarisusa open ur ears mate it’s almost the same there’s just the F before the final G that changes to a Bb, except this slight difference it is the licc

[@maggoteater2290]

His high register really doesnt sound that good

[@victormora8391]

That's because it isn't.
