Double Bass Visitation - Paul Chambers

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.


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...?
