Visitation - Paul Chambers

[Clay_Bass]

I really love this song and was wondering if anyone had a lead sheet for it?

There's one in an old book by Jim Stinnett "the music of Paul Chambers", with melody, chords and full PC's solo. It isn't that difficult, so it could be a good excercise to transcribe it on your own from the record.

I dont own a recording of PCs version of the song. The recording I do have is guys who are pretty into him so I doubt theyd change things but you never know. Ive figured out the first couple parts of what they do. Im more just looking to check what I have with the original recording.

In that case, why don't you check out the original PC recording? I think the album is called Chambers' Music.

I plan to when I get my paycheck. Thanks for the name though I wouldve spent alot of time searching through borders.

Or you could get the Mosaic Select 3-CD box set -which is excellent!!

What a band for that session - Coltrane, Kenny Drew and Philly Joe!! Although 'Trane doesn't play on Visitation.

Basicaly though, this tune is a bass solo over the Blues with mild piano comping - listening to the the track, it's a bit like a Charlie Parker Bebop Blues, but slower?

Great playing, but not that memorable a head...?

I'm pretty sure it's not a blues.

Indeed. The changes are from All God's Chillun.

[Bruce Lindfield]

No - but it's a very Bluesy solo and I was just emphasising that.

[Nadav]

Ah, I hear ya Bruce. The changes are very different, but there's definitely that blues feeling. His solo choruses are so nasty, in the best sense of the word.
