This lovely solo by Kenny Dorham might seem easy at first glance, but trying to replicate on a score the performer's micro-inflections, note bends and rhythmic feel was quite hard. Even though the double-time feel comes only on the second chorus of the solo, I preferred to transcribe everything as if it was played double-time for convenience's sake (I find it much easier to read this way). Hope you like it!
