For me it's better to work on transcriptions like this because Joshua Redman he starts slow and only goes to extremes later just to show would be saxophonists other possibilities

Hi, great job. Can You send me a Bb pdf version, please ? thanks

Do you have the pdf for this one available?
@@jamessidebotham shoot me an email !
Do you think I could get a Bb PDF for this please?
shoot me an email!
Yes sir!!!
Sonny Rollins first verse den da blues ... and boy does he superimpose the blues over the form like a King wow like george Benson always hearing the blues ...
Impressionante. Magnífico. Show.
man!!!! so sick
This record, on the whole, is just delightful.
Can’t forget about Eric Harland on drums! Such a great take on the tune
Oh man yeah he kills all over the record, love him on 'Adams Apple' !
Hi mate, I would like the PDF if possible
Hi, I really like your work. I am starting to transcribe myself but having some difficulties in particular on fast tempos and fast arpeggios, where I can't quite catch the notes right away. Do you happen to have any advice for beginners? Do you recommend apps to slow down the music?
Thanks so much and thanks for asking! Transcription was really tricky for me to get into, I hadn't tried it until I had to for some courses during my undergrad, mostly because my reading and ear training was really not up to par haha. The best way for me to get better at it was to jump in and try, you do get better the more time you spend trying it out. Maybe start with short solos or sections, that way you can tackle different players and slowly get more accustomed to whatever workflow you adopt. It can be easy to get overwhelmed and stuck on a large dense solo (Some of those 15-minute Trane solos still scare me hahaha). I use Musescore to write and SoundSlice to slow down and loop! They both have their pros and cons, but they are free and pretty easy to learn. The downside with SoundSlice is that you're limited to UA-cam videos without paying, but I've also used VLC to slow down mp3s (also free but a bit more obtuse to use). And I definitely slow down, especially when a lot is going on. Some people might think slowing down hinders your ability to build up your ear, but I'm not one of those people and you gotta start somewhere! I also usually use a keyboard to transcribe, I find it a little more easy than always using the sax, especially when players like Tivon fly up into the stratosphere. Hope that helps and thanks again man, wish you the best!
Man these are🔥
yooo thanks man !!
Nice one dude
This guy sounds like Stan Gets!
One of Canada's best, super nice guy too! Love this whole record, check him out on 'It's alright with me', another wild solo!
Amazing! I don't dare trying to play it but thanks for the transcription!
Appreciated.👏🏼 always.
Brilliant solo. My favourite Redman album. All of them killing it. Love the transcription and I’m a terrible reader 😊
Enjoying the sounds. Thanks for sharing!!

The one and only, the grand master Sonny Rollins. Not a “lick” in sight. Pure music, pure joy. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I listened to a 10h French podcast radio show on Sonny Rollins (yes, 10x 1h, covering 1951-2001!!!). A torture, but I'm like that, I dive into an artist and I listen to everything, or almost. To have my own opinion. My opinion of Rollins is that he seems very overrated to me. As a player/improviser First of all as a player/improviser, he does not seem to me better than Johnny Griffin, Sonny Stitt, Roland Kirk, Phil Woods, Lateef, Pharoah Sanders, Hank Mobley... but enjoys a much greater notoriety... and unjustified in my opinion. Ok he plays well, but not better in my opinion than the musicians above. Listen to Eternal Triangle which puts Rollins and Stitt together. Here they are VERY evenly matched technique wise but it is Rollins who is the more famous today. There is a lot of study done on Rollins' solos and they are generally accepted to be examples of strong overall thematic construction and development. This somewhat implies that others just play randomly. I'm not entirely convinced by that argument. If you like it, its a strength, if you think its an excuse for repetition, you'd think not. As a composer At the level of the composition, he did not compose anything, everyone knows that his hit ''St Thomas'' is a Caribbean folklore already recorded by Randy Weston in 1955 under the title ''Fire Down There''. St Thomas is an example of cultural transference. It is infact originally The Lincolnshire Poacher. An old english folk tune. It was taken to the Carribean presumably on the slave ships but possibly even earlier by the pirate ships (appropriate given its title). It gets transmuted into a Carribean Folk tune and then Rollins recalls it from his childhood being sung by his mother and renames it after the Island. I had assumed St Thomas was what his mother called it, but the Ted Heath Band, a British Big Band of the 1950s had a big(ish) hit with 'The Lincolnshire Poacher' done presumably as a 'ripost' to St Thomas. His ''Tenor Madness'' is a composition by Kenny Clarke published in 1947 under the title ''Rue Chaptal''. His other compositions from the 50s... well, Oleo, Airegin etc... it can in no way be compared to the compositions of Trane, Bird, Monk or Shorter... One thing that always struck me that I've heard no one else mention is that the Alfie theme is merely a reworking of the intro to 'Singing In The Rain!' Sound and artistic vision I find this a curious aspect. Early on, in the 50s his sound was distinct enough but it became more distinctive later. It is an odd sound for tenor but its one I hear more and more players now using. I'm not quite sure how its done or if there is a physiological reason for it. I have found it to be an aquired taste. Moreover, his playing and his sound are terribly degraded after 1966 (36 years). Something happened on that bridge, he lost his mind. He seems to have been traumatized by the arrival of Ornette, Trane, Ayler... In the 60s he tried to be freer than Ayler, more calypso/blues than Ornette, and more mystical than Trane, but without succeeding because so superficial... Then in the 70s/80s he tried his hand at funk, disco... with really ridiculous and corny results... Did he want to be funkier than James Brown himself? More disco than Chic and Nile Rodgers? On ''SAIS'' from the ''Horn Culture'' album, one example among many, just picking up a random piece between 1966 and 2001....It's a shame. He plays out of tune, out of rhythm, with an absolutely disgusting sound. It is a lack of respect towards himself, the other musicians and the listener. No normally constituted musician would have agreed to let this recording be released. The problem with Rollins is that EVERYTHING IS LIKE THIS after 1966. He even said himself that he was high on marijuana when he recorded his solo album ''Soloscope'' at the Museum of Modern Art. from NYC...Also listen to the result, it's ridiculous and disrespectful towards the listeners... Ego and money Also, on the radio show, they say he was paid today's $300,000 for himself to record the Nucleus album (listen to the result!!!!), and that for his concerts, his Financial claims were unrealistic, only big festivals could afford it. He played with the Stones but didn't want to tour with them because, according to Mike Jagger himself, he wanted too much money! I am not making anything up here. In a blindfold test published in downbeat in 2006, he doesn't recognize ANY saxophonist, even taking James Carter for Don Byas! Totally mind-blowing and revealing! Conclusion In conclusion Sonny Rollins is for me the archetype of a narcissistic complacency encouraged by the fans and the milieu which has placed him on a throne since 1956 and his (very average) album ''saxophone colossus''. You have to be quite arrogant to glorify yourself as a ''saxophone colossus'' at 26 years old when BIRD had just died the previous year. -------------------------------------------------------- I posted this on reddit/jazz and got hundreds of insults regarding: 1) the size of my ass, 2) the size of my brain, 3) the size of my penis 4) about the fact that I would be ignorant 5) on the education received by my parents 6) about the fact that Rollins would have fucked my mother 7) about Rollins fucking my wife 8) about the fact that I will be jealous I said 'yes okay' but back on topic: sonny Rollins is not so great. No response on the subject. I was finally banned for life from reddit/jazz for posting this text.
hahaha what
I listened to an 11h Belgian podcast radio show on Sonny Rollins (yes, 11x 1hr, covering 1950-2002). Very informative. There was a segment on you. Thank you for your great contributions to jazz and American art! 🫡
cool dawg, good for u
@@griffinhodge8939 this person has been commenting this on loads of sonny rollins videos for at least a year. Clearly they have a major grudge against sonny for some reason!
@@thomashughes6618 yeah is just a idiot, go up sonny rollins, you are the best!
man at 2:20 when they all start swingin is next level flow
Da Rollins does Der Bingle. Wonderful and fabulous.
This is one of my fav solos from redman too!! I love it when he picks up the 'whoo!' of the guy at the public at around 5:14 and uses it as motif <3
Thank you for transcription! This so impressive!😮 Tivon - 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Assolo vulcanico!!! 👏👏👏
Beautiful
Thanks! Hot house qoute got me hooked the first time I heard it! Great solo and transcription!
Patience is key
What a beautifully constructed solo. Cats like these make me want to play my horn all day long.
Saw this when it first came out. Thanks for putting out the transcription 🐬
I could listen this a million times and never be able to play it...this is genius in action.
Killer solo and transcription
Tivon is soul Flowless Tecnique+ beauty. Melodic lines are do strong Perfect time Humorous playing He has everything
Il y a des tonnes de fautes de relevé, il manque des notes, fautes de rythme, il y a un software dans Sibelius qui fait les transcriptions, j'ai l'impression que beaucoup de gens ici utilisent ce truc, et n'ont jamais rien relevé de leur vie. La cerise sur le gâteau : "underrated Getz".. vaste bêtise, tous ceux qui connaissent le sax. savent que Getz est un des plus grands. C'est typiquement ricain ça, un type invente une connerie, tous les autres suivent. There are tons of transcription mistakes, missing notes, rhythm mistakes, there is a software in Sibelius that does the transcriptions, I have the impression that many people here use this thing, and have never noted anything in their lives. The icing on the cake: "underrated Getz"... vast stupidity, all those who know the sax. know that Getz is one of the greatest. It's typically American, one guy invents a stupid thing, all the others follow.
merci bo coup
thank you so much!! you are amazing
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Where’s the PDF 🎶🎵🎶🎷

Super solo
The Classical guys go "What did he do?" Jazz guys go "So that's what it looks like on paper". Fight it out, but remember that we play for People.
I went to a jazz camp back in high school once and got to study with Mike Longo for a week, really fantastic experience. He was a super funny guy and loved hearing his stories about playing with Dizzy way back. At the end of the week before a performance, I remember him saying to our group "Just play pretty for the people". Still the best advice anyone has ever given me!
Magnifique phrasé du Getz des années 50
Big solo
Sax players man
Love it.
Great work!
