lobematt Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Hey I'm trying to transcribe LaFaro's line from Bill Evans Portrait in Jazz - Autumn Leaves. There's just two bars I can't quite pick out, I keep thinking I've got it but it still doesn't sound right. It's in the first chorus about 0:35 seconds and its under the F7 and the BbM7 Cheers!

Bilbo Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 It sounds a litte iffy to me, as if his idea/intonation clash for a couple of beats. Personally, I wouldn't sweat blood over it as it is not a definitive or decisive line. Even people as great as LaFaro can mess up and there are plenty of examples all over the jazz canon of subtle mess ups of this kind, partiucuarly in the era during which this recording took place. I would try and work it out using TRasncribe but it is on a different PC and I woudl have to download the track etc etc and, for two bars of music...? My advice? Spend your time on the details you can hear and don't worry too much about the ones you can't. You won't be missing much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yarr. I've had Sunday at the Village Vanguard on in the car the last couple of days and there's plenty of Scott getting a little loose all over it. Like I could do any better, but still, not much to learn from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
