Kind of Blue transcriptions (ebook)

Really nice little book containing the entire performances from that 1958 date, great way of studying the different styles of four (actually, five if you count Wynton Kelly on Freddie Freeloader) great soloists.

Scooby Sax anyone?

For the two people that read this blog regularly :-) , I must apologise for my lack of posting recently. Nothing bad has happened, I simply haven’t got off my bum to source any new transcriptions.

As other jazzers can probably relate to, my enthusiasm for playing/studying tends to come in waves and every so often I don’t seem to have much inspiration to do either in any great depth.

Anyway, I was listening to Hank Mobley’s Dippin’ Time just yesterday it reminded me how good he really was. Jeff Rzepiela’s site has several Hank Mobley transcriptions, along with those of other top hooters.

Sonny Rollins ebook thing found…

I’ve just found this impressive 72 page ebook:  which has several transcriptions of Sonny Rollins and - even better - has an analysis of the great man’s playing. There is a link to download the pdf at the bottom of the page if you wish. Grab it while its there is my advice….

Bob Keller’s video collection…

…Is a wonderful collection of video’s of great jazz musicians doing their thang. Bob must have collected these over years and he’s presenting them on his site in all their WMV goodness. Bills Evans fans (like me) are particularly well catered for, although Coltrane and Getz are there too. What you waitin’ for: get tuned in.
