The tune came out on the 1955 Study In Brown album by Clifford Brown (trumpet) and Max Roach (drums) with George Morrow (bass) Richie Powell (piano) and Harold Land (tenor saxophone). Nevertheless it is a great track with possibly interesting links and worth spending time with. I can find no information online about why Clifford Brown called his tune Sandu, and of course we cannot ask him. Solos come in standard notation and every image is a link to my YouTube channel where you can see me playing the solo.Īfter the purchase you will receive your solo of choice in your e-mail inbox.This article has to be based on guesswork. Here's why I'd like to share some of my transcriptions with you, so that you can choose your solo of choice and play it. I know that there are many good players in the world who didn't have the same opportunity and are not able to transcribe a solo. I was fortunate enough to dedicate my life to music studies, which naturally resulted in music notation knowledge. If you love Miles Davis and you want to sound like him before finding your inner language, then play Miles Davis. If you spend an year studying all scales and modes, how are you going to play better? And why should you? The only achieved result will be scales and modes knowledge, and maybe better technique, but that's it. If you want to play jazz, or blues, or rock, then you have to practice not only scales and modes but especially the music itself. The more good stuff you play, and listen, the better you're going to sound. Sight reading, tone, modes, feel, rhythm, harmony (if you consciously think about it while playing), repertoire, technique. Why is that? When playing a Miles Davis solo, for instance, you're actually practicing everything at once. I spent years transcribing the solos of the players I like the most, and it maybe is one of the best things to do if you want to get better. It is very difficult to play freely, manage all this information and to make hundreds of practice hours count at the same time.īut here's the thing, there actually is one ring to rule them all, and that is transcribing.
Usually these concepts need to be practiced one at a time but of course, when you're playing, all musical elements are expressed at once. Technique, rhythm, sound, tone, repertoire, scales, chords, improvisation, and so on and so forth. When embarking on a musical journey you have to take care of many different aspects of your playing.
