Why Michael Brecker Copied Sonny Rollins

[@balanceaction5174]

Thank you. I have already downloaded your transcription. Brilliant. I love Sonny Rollins so much, I love this very solo so much, and I love the way you teach so much. You are the teacher-Colossus on internet, Soeren.

Sonny Rollins is the best, there is so much we can learn from him. Thank you so much for your comment and support

Thanks. This is so interesting for a Sonny Rollins' fan trying to play like his master. Brilliant! ❤ An important contribution to my practice. 👍

[@sorenballegaardmusic]

Thank you so much for saying this. Sonny Rollins should be the beginning of all our learning - I wish I knew much earlier and my teachers had said - play these 5 Sonny Rollins Solos in all 12 keys!

Brilliant! Thanks for that Soren - enough to keep me going for the rest of the year and probably longer! As it happens I started learning his solo on St Thomas a week ago!

[@sorenballegaardmusic]

I hope you keep watching every week hahaha. One recording of the greatest is enough for a lifetime of studies. That is so crazy how good they are and how much we can learn.

[@JeffJacobsonMusic]

Terrific work here, Søren. Well done, sir.

[@sorenballegaardmusic]

Thank you so much, thank you.

Sonny Rollins have been the beast and the best, still with us.

[@sorenballegaardmusic]

Sonny Rollins is crazy amazing - this week there is more Rollins - hope you like it too. Rollins is a major influencer!

I don’t even have to watch this video to answer your question 😊

[@sorenballegaardmusic]

Hahahha, I know what you mean, but there are two sides, did he or did he not. Love to hear what you think, before and after watching the video.

❤ love Sonny. Gotta deep dive in this.

[@sorenballegaardmusic]

Sonny Rollins is so bad ass and sometimes I forget how good he actually is. The deep dive is nessesary.

2:17 the notes in bar 4 don't match with what you're playing. Nice video though and a great piece of vocabulary.

[@sorenballegaardmusic]

Thank you so much for your compliment. There are 2 different transcriptions, the one of Breaker and I did one. I will not say that I in anyway are better than brecker, but my transcription of the Rolling solo is more accurate. So when I play my version it's not the same as what Brecker wrote down. But I used a slowdowner, brecker did not have these tools, and he plays light-years ahead of me....
