    Whatever the key, that minor 6th to start absolutely slays me every time I hear it ❤

      Yes, the minor 6 shows up in Miles solos all the time. The first chord or "Summertime" includes a minor 6th and once you hear it with you can never live without it

      @@brunoespinola7 I've read a lot of Bio's and Autobiographies and almost to a T these guys got where they were by Playing! With people who were better than themselves. Jackie Mclean says "You can't practice Jazz!"
      Practicing is what classically trained musicians do, because they never leave the practice room, and very rarely play out in public. So their answer to every problem is More Practice. Start a weekly Jam session. Pretty soon you'll start to attract some good players and when you do, get em to show you some things.
      My middle name could be "40 Years in the Woodshed" and you may reply "Well you don't have talent!" Everyone I play with insists I do. I think the formula is out of whack! I've spent too many years learning my chords and scales and tunes in 28 keys, learning solos. You learn a language by speaking with other native speakers, not by spelling or grammar or anything else. Those things are just easiest to Teach!

    Excellent transcription, Joe. Biggest challenge with Lee from my perspective, is capturing his “time” that’s “out of time”.
    Fluid hard bop phrasing and control of feel and vibe is one of his hallmarks…

      Assuming it won't be too long until computers analyzing these solos will be able to show a "nudge" arrow to before or after the beat (and maybe a percent of how far off. Once that appears every virtual drum program will be able to duplicate Art Blakey...

    Thanks for transcribing. I really didn't know how high that first note was until now.

      Shit man, me neither. I started the trumpet 3 months ago, I love it and I love Lee Morgan but damn this looks unreachable even in 10 years from now.

      Those are accent marks. They indicate which notes get the emphasis and are a way to create rhythm without full rests. The other notes get less emphasis (are quieter).

    what key is this supposed to be in; from what I understand this is written in e minor (for trumpets), and when I look it up on google it says it's in g minor (for trumpets), and when I played it in combo we played it in d minor. Is there a key change at the solo section?

    • @ronan5491
      @ronan5491 4 роки тому

      Nope. The original key is f minor for all C instruments like piano and for a Bb instrument like the trumpet it's in g minor. So it actually should be two b instead of a sharp

    • @SnazzSnzWarsaw
      @SnazzSnzWarsaw 3 роки тому

      To add to what Ronan said, Lee Morgan (mostly) uses a G melodic minor scale to improvise, hence the F# in the key signature.
