Stan Getz's Solo on Have You Met Miss Jones

This was one of those solos I heard and immediately had to go learn it.

[@SharpElevenMusic]

Great job George, lovely playing! Dig how you keep the volume low and gentle to match Getz's

[@50JJRodriguez]

Love your videos

[@chund.s.9730]

even with a metal mp

[@SharpElevenMusic]

@@50JJRodriguez Hey thanks man!

[@georgegrunditz]

@@chund.s.9730I played rubber for about 8 years before switching to metal, and listened to a ton of Getz. So the habits just stuck with me.

[@alessandrovillatoro]

@@chund.s.9730there are plenty of metal mouthpieces with dark sounds. Dexter Gordon played a dukoff Hollywood metal piece and he has one of the warmest, lush sounds ever. There are even some new metal classical mouthpieces so the material has nothing to do with brightness. Maybe a slight bit

[@Goldstein-iz-golfin]

So smooth 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Nice job!

Wow!

[@outofcontrolbandchicago6277]

Solid!

[@pixelatedaces7952]

Awesome playing! I think you should try out Without A Song by Sonny Rollins! It sounds somewhat similar, and I had a bunch of fun learning it by ear!

[@georgegrunditz]

That's a great one. I'll add it to my list, thanks for the recommendation!

[@abrogard142]

Wow that was really good! Do you have a pdf of this transcription?

[@georgegrunditz]

Thanks! I do, would you like it in Bb or C? And what is your email address?

[@CharlieA-mx1tq]

@@georgegrunditz Would I be able to get a transcription of this in Eb by any chance? Cheers

[@georgegrunditz]

@@CharlieA-mx1tq Sure thing, just put your email address here and I'll send it to you.

[@Euphonium_boi]

woah. also, quick theory question; why do you tie two eighth notes when you could just write it as a quarter?

[@georgegrunditz]

Thanks! I use two eighth notes with a tie if a quarter note would cover up a downbeat. When people read music, it's helpful to see where every downbeat is, especially beat 1 and beat 3. For example, in bar 4 at 0:20. If I put a quarter note on the and of 1, it sounds the same as two eighth notes tied together. But with the eighth notes, the second one is shown right on beat 2. Which can be easier when reading the music. With that being said, it's more important that beat one and three can be seen, than two and four. Neither one is "wrong" though. Hope that makes sense.

[@Euphonium_boi]

@@georgegrunditz Oh that does make sense, thank you!
