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!
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 😉

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…)

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.
