After hearing it a few times and then transcribing it, I've got to say that this is one of my favourite solos of that era. It's classic late-50s, pre-Giant Steps Coltrane - you can hear his signatures all over it. I have included a PDF of the solos in landscape orientation with 8 bar phrases stacked on top of each other - this makes it easier to compare his approaches to each section. Certain phrases/devices pop up more than once, and there's lots of bebop scale usage.
Notes:
- I am a pianist, not a horn player. Hence a lot of my "runs" up/down notes, fall offs, scoops etc. might be written differently to how a saxophonist writes them. My instrument can't scoop/slide, hence I have to compensate by writing these things a certain way.
- No articulations. This is just a note/basic rhythmic guide - you'll have more fun listening to it, learning & adding them yourself! :D
- I learnt most of this by ear, one section at a time & on my instrument, then wrote it straight into Sibelius. That said, I haven't proof read it very thoroughly but I'd say it's reasonably accurate. I was just excited to get it done and wanted to publish it. Make your own corrections. Some enharmonic choices may be disagreed upon.
- Sorry if the formatting for the Bb parts isn't as neat/good as the concert. It's still usable though!
