The transcribed score of "Kind of Blue".

If this is the same one that's in the current Jamey Aebersold catalog, the bass transcriptions are incomplete, according to JA's description.

Did you check out the link before you posted this? This is published by Hal Leonard.

It's still possible it's the same one. Jamey sells stuff by a bunch of different publishers. I'm playing sessions with him on Thursday mornings lately... if anybody's interested, I'll check on that transcription next week - his office and bookselling operation are in the basement of his house in New Albany. I've been meaning to ask him about a complete cross listing of bass transcriptions anyway.

My mistake , it is the same book. I didn't realize that Abersold sold other publications on his site.

Yep. I knew it wasn't an Aebersold pub, and although I did forget to check the catalog when I got home to compare, I felt pretty confident that there wasn't likely to be more than one transcription book out there.

I hear what appears to me to be an interesting difference between Paul Chambers and Ray Brown's sound. PC has a lighter bouncier sound, while Ray Brown has a richer, more full-bodied, larger and more sustaining sound. I am wondering if one difference could be that I know Ray Brown had a fairly low string height on the bridge. So is it possible that PC employed a slightly higher string height? Or is it another difference, such as Ray plucks with the finger more vertically downwards more parallel to the string towards the bottom of the fingerboard, whereas PC seems to pluck with two fingers in a diagonal hand position higher up on the fingerboard?
