Sophisticated Lady Blanton-Ellington Duet

[Ric Vice]

Hey,
I am playing the Blanton Ellington Duet on Sophisticated Lady for
a concert here in St. Louis. I have the Todd Coleman transcription of the solo line, but I'd like to get my hands on a transcription of Duke's accompanyment. At one time it was avaliable from Villa Music but when I contacted Wayne, he informed me that " it's no longer avaliable". So if any of you out there have a copy of accompanyment transcription I'll be glad to compensate you for you're time. You can P.M. if you prefer.

i know jeff campbell transcribed all of the blanton/ellington duets maybe 6 or 7 years ago. i am still waiting for them to be published, and when i emailed him i didn't hear back. i know there a couple of guys here who study with him...maybe they can get the word about it?

I transcribed both parts awhile back and can't find them now...

you should try doing it yourself.

I actually thought of that, but unfortunately by I'm so slow at transcription (especially piano parts) that the concert would
probably be over before I got them transcribed. Todd Coolman transcribed the solo part and I have that, but unfortunately no published version of Duke's accompanyment exists. The pianist is a very good at transcription. I was just trying to make her work load a little lighter. She's worked many hours
transcribing all the other charts for the concert.
