Jazz Blues – Freddie Hubbard Solo
One of the best blues trumpet solos!
Album: “Ready for Freddie”
Title: Birdlike
Rhythm Changes – Buddy DeFranco Solo
I’ve been repeatedly asked for pdf copies of the transcription above…
so i decided to take a fair amount of $s out of your pocket for this one ;).
You’ll get a 9 pages pdf file full of finest bebop material!
Thank you all!
Crystal Bells – Chet Baker Solo
If you want to get in a sentimental mood, listen to this one! 😉
Really wonderful tune with a beautiful melody.
I transcribed it because i was interested in Chet’s doubletime playing.
Listen on Youtube:
Airmail Special – Eddie Daniels Solo
A really fast tune (about 270bpm).
The A-section comping during solo is like rhythm changes.
Sometimes you’ll find chords in parentheses.
I added them when Eddie might have thought other chords then the rhythm section 😉

To Brenda with Love – Paquito D’Rivera Solo
Another great clarinet master is Paquito D’Rivera!
The solo is from a live concert at the 25th jazzweek in Burghausen Germany
(the first song they played…)

Lady Bird – Chet Baker Solo
Sonny’s Idea – Buddy DeFranco Solo
One of my all time favourite solos from the clarinet master Buddy DeFranco!!!
Sonny Clark at the Piano. Great Band!
The form of the song is very simular to Rhythm Changes. In the Bridge they’re using different chords.
