Half Nelson

It has been a busy week... I have been analyzing the Fats Ladybird solo and stealing as much material as I can. There is so much to process it is hard to pick out the real gems to focus on but I managed and have been running them through the keys.

I Transcribed Miles' solo on Half Nelson from the recording with Charlie Parker on Tenor (Awesome!)...



...I made what I will call an "attempt" at this solo. The melodic ideas are straight forward but the nuance of Miles' playing kills me! I can tell I will spend much less time with the licks from this solo and much more time just listening and imitating.


Coming soon...
The often overlooked and in my opinion best recording of Dear Old Stockholm
