I remember not to long ago I was skimming past posts for suggestions on how to improve your jazz playing/lines/etc., and of course transcribing came up multiple times. I used to love transcribing Bach Chorales in my music program, but that was when I had all the time in the world
.
A few years ago I started a transcription for Ron Carter's version of Monk's
Well, You Needn't, but didn't complete it, and now I believe it's lost
.
At any rate, I found a post that mentioned Paul Chambers as a good bassist to transcribe, specifically his opening line on Pfrancing (Miles,
Some Day My Prince Will Come). I did it, and decided not to stop. Now I'm at about 2:04 in the song and am enjoying it, but am wondering if there's anyone else who has transcribed or knows of a transcription of this piece so that I can compare my work to another. I'd be interested to see what I got versus someone else.
I plan on completing this transcription and to then mess with the line a bit, and am up for suggestions on other pieces to transcribe...suggestions?
Cheers,
Paul
