Do check out the March 2009 issue of Bass Player magazine. There's a nice, long article on the recording of Kind of Blue and Paul Chambers, including a transcription of Freddie Freeloader.

Mr. Gray...since you seem to be a Denverite, as I am....I need to ask you a quick question. A bit off topic, I know, but who is this "coltrain" that you mention in your Profile?
Just curious.

There is a book with the score's from the entire album at Amazon.com

I play bass, double bass, and tenor sax. From what I've played out of this book, it seems very accurate.

Hope this helps

You play bass AND double bass? Wow.

Pretty damn sad, though.

If you like KOB, check Miles '58, with Coltrane, Adderley, Evans, PC and Cobb. I like it more (sacrilege), green dolphin st, stella, my funny, and a killer bebop version of straight, no chaser.
