Hank Mobley & Wynton Kelly - Remember solos

Here are Hank Mobley & Wynton Kelly's solos from the opening track of 1960's Soul Station.  Love this album - it's usually one I just enjoy listening to but I'm now starting to check it out on more than a surface level, just to work out what makes it hip.


Hank's solo (Bb)
Hank & Wynton's solos (concert)


Sorry if the Bb PDF is a bit messy - it was just a quick cut/paste job from the concert chart.  Didn't go through and check if there were any Cb/E#s either, but I'm sure you'll be fine with it.  Also, with regards to the rhythmic placement of things (laying back/pushing/wailing), I haven't made any markings and the wailing sections may be slightly inaccurate.  However, as with any transcription, this is just a guide and if you wanna nail it, check it out with the recording.

Wynton Kelly - This I Dig Of You solo

Wynton Kelly's solo on This I Dig of You, from Hank Mobley's Soul Station (1960). RH only (Marc!!!). :)


Checked it out because I like some of Brad Mehldau's early playing, such as on the Fresh Sound New Talent label and with Peter Bernstein and Grant Stewart.  To me, he sounds like a turbo-charged Wynton Kelly.  Hence, checkin' out some Wynton Kelly for myself!
