Tenor sax jazz solo transcriptions10/9/2023 ![]() ![]() Enjoy!Ĭherokee in 10 Keys-Chris Potter-Final Version Bb It’s great to work with other sax players around the globe that have a similar passion and love for jazz. Thanks to Artem (ffjay) for pulling this together and cranking it out! I get the impression from him that he would have finished this by himself if no one had ended up volunteering anyways. As usual, Chris Potter plays an a cappella solo of a jazz standard that is incredible! There is so much material in this transcription that as Artem was emailing me the final choruses today I was thinking I should take a 6 month sabbatical and just practice this solo for the next 6 months…….(It would be nice)Įnjoy the solo! Thanks to Chris Potter again for all the inspiration and great playing. I posted it on the site here in December. This solo is from a Masterclass that Chris Potter did in Akron Ohio on 12/4/15. Six people from around the world cranking out a huge transcription in 10 days! Very cool! Take a look at this 28 page transcription and I think you will be impressed also. I have no idea who these guys are or where they are from but they worked hard to accomplish this task in less than 10 days. The transcribers were Artem Zhulyev, Dimitri Safronov, Scott Dart, Andei Pobozhi and Denis Zolotih. Artem did an insane amount of work transcribing as well as entering many of the handwritten transcriptions in Finale before sending them my way. I volunteered to finish a couple more choruses as well as combine, proofread and help edit the solos. I quickly finished the second chorus I had volunteered to do and by that time I was hooked. It was cool to hear updates from Artem as he reported different choruses being completed. We all took different choruses and started to get to work. ![]() You know the drill…………….įfjay (whose name is Artem Zhulyev) ended up finding 6 guys to help including me. If you’re not part of the solution then your part of the problem. Man, If he could get a bunch of guys with good ears and transcription skills we could get this huge solo done in record time! As I got excited about that thought and the idea of working together with guys around the world that I didn’t even know to accomplish this task, I came back to my computer and posted that I would volunteer to help. As I went about the stuff I had to do, I kept thinking about ffjay’s proposal. Now, a year later as I read ffjay’s post my first thought was “Good Luck buddy! I doubt you’ll get anyone on here to help…….” I closed my browser, left my computer and got on with my day. You could hear crickets! I don’t think one person responded. I have to be honest, about a year or two ago I asked the same thing on SOTW about another solo that I wanted to transcribe and it was like a ghost town after that post. We have two saxophone collegues on board but we need more people! Are you in? I’d just transcribed his first solo chorus and I figured I cannot do the whole¡ what if we do it altogether, one solo chorus each one of us and share it for All fans of jazz music? Could be an international project. Guess you’d listen one of the stunning Chris Potter’s solo playing Cherokee in 10 keys. So check this out! About 10 days ago, I was on SOTW (Sax on the Web) looking through various posts about saxophone stuff when I ran across a post by a recent member from Spain I didn’t know named”ffjay” that read: ![]()
