Bilbo Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) I have transcribed loads of Anthony Jackson but today, after listening to him for 40 years or more, I have finally noticed a mistake. At 5:09 on this big band video from 1994, in the tune 'Why Not', AJ hits a wrong note. I couldn't believe it. 'kin lightweight! There is hope for me yet!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88-Xz5fUFKg Edited March 11 by Bilbo 1 8 Quote
Killerfridge Posted March 11 Posted March 11 I'm fairly sure he either flubs a line, or plays a simplified version of some of the unison line somewhere near the start of Not Yet by Michel Camilo. Probably was a choice he made though, but still Quote
TimR Posted March 12 Posted March 12 The real question is... which note do you use for the transcription... 1 Quote

Bilbo Posted March 13 Author Posted March 13 Bilbo slept like a log. I found a mistake in a Geddy Lee performance the other day. It's in the transcription - I can't just change notes willy nilly. That way lies chaos! AJ's boo boo was live, though, so no possibility of fixing it in the mix! 2 1 Quote
Hellzero Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I've been listening to this live video many times, it's so groovy, but I never noticed this mistake. But this are good news: Anthony Jackson is human! 😉 1 Quote
lowdown Posted March 13 Posted March 13 There is a lovely moment in a Grover Washington Jr. live video, where AJ and Steve Gadd stare each out over a misplaced 16th note accent. Steve Gadd thought AJ was the culprit. He clearly didn't... 🤣 Quote
