Anthony Jackson / Chaka Khan albums

[Stevie G]

Hello all,

What with Anthony Jackson appearing on the cover of this month's Bass Player magazine, just thought I'd take the opportunity to let you know I recently uploaded full transcriptions of his work on Chaka Khan's seminal "Naughty" and "What Cha' Gonna Do For Me" albums.

As most folks probably know, these two albums are generally considered among his finest work and contain many insights into his style and harmonic approach. And, if you've ever wondered why there's slapping and popping on tracks that credit the vehemently anti-slap/pop Jackson, these transcriptions could finally put your mind at rest...

PDFs of these 15 songs—along with several other non Chaka-related items—can be found on the transcriptions page at:

Hope you find them useful,

Stevie

p.s. The reason I didn't post in the "Tablature" forum is that all my transcriptions are NOTATION ONLY.

Nice! You really went to school on Anthony with Chaka. The transciptions and your comments are wonderful.

Thanks for posting this!

Wow...I haven't had a chance to check out the actual transcriptions yet (I'm at the office), but you REALLY put alot of work into writing all of the commentary. Your website has been added to my "favorites" - I'll enjoy reading all of this!

 

[VroomVroom]

Outstanding! Your comments are as well-written as the charts. Downloaded for posterity and woodshedding...thank you!

Stevie, man - we should hook up for a beer sometime!

Hey Pacman - beer sounds good!

I didn't expect to find another talkbasser living in Tokyo - and an AJ fan too!

Haven't quite figured out to send personal mails via talkbass yet, but feel free to drop me a mail at:

Anyone else feel like a beer/sake blowout!?

You have just donated a tremendous resource to a very appreciative crowd! Thanks for the hard work Stevie! I can't wait to work through the transcriptions.

I know this is an old thread but it Stevie's site down permanently? The link won't work for me. Does anyone have links to transcriptions of Anthony Jackson's work on these albums? Namely the tune "move me no mountain"?

 

[20db pad]

That site has been down for a while. I have a bunch of them off of Stevie's site, including "Move Me No Mountain" - send me a pm
