Bilbo Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 This one I started years ago, before I got Transcribe software. I was never able to finish it at the time but I got hold off another transcription in Double Bassist and was able to fill in the gaps!! Yes, I cheated but you all get the benefits for free so don't sue me Need to apologise for some of the beams; my Sibelius is defaulting to an unhelpful pattern of linking triplets across whole bars. Makes it hard to read but, if you print it off and use tippex, it should be of use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Gorgeous piece of music. Thanks Bilbo. Will take a look when back in UK (reading this on Blackberry from Frankfurt where I have just spent a bizarre eveining in a fake ski lodge playing Eurotrash oompah music) Edited November 25, 2009 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Wonderful transcription, thanks Bilbo! Always good to learn some Scotty lines. There was quite a good article about him, and a few bits and bobs of music in the latest issue of Bass Player (I don't usually read it, but it caught my eye on the newstand). Wish I could transcribe half as well as you do...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB26354 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 One of the great Jazz albums, and a wonderful solo from such a young man. The tone is so individual, and the whole album reeks of quality. It had the same effect on me the first time I head Heavy Weather. I remember Paul Scott doing a transcription of this in bassist ages ago but lost it. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major-Minor Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Bilbo - thanks for this. I don't know this album (I'm ashamed to say) and I can't seem to find it on Spotify or iTunes. Can you tell me the tempo its played at ? The Major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Medium up I think (he says, humming it in his mind having only listened to it on Wednesday!). It gets hard at the when you hit the long strings of triplets later on but it is perfectly playable. Its an interesting point but I find that some of the new 'wonder' players like Wooten and Manring require a radical new approach to the instrument and a total revision of the technical variables for anyone interested in exploring their techniques and compositions. LaFaro, on the other hand, took what were quite conventional ideas and moved them on in a way that was generally quite accessible to students wishing to work that hard - it iwas the IDEA that was new, not the executions. Jaco was the same - conventional techniques taken to a new level of expression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always remember being hacked off at the lack of interesting material when I was learning to read (still am if I am honest) - it was all fairly tedious classical stuff with very predictable lines that I could predict so I was not really reading them. So I thought I would put together some reading material for people who are interested in learning the dots but wanted something they could really get their teeth into.

I sometimes find that some of these details are a result of a slip of the mouse when fiddling with Sibelius things. I will have a look at it when I can (not at home right now).
